medication timing???
I also take 5mg
Longtec
at 7pm. My question is, are my timings right because I wake at the same time with RLS? Do you think I need to increase the
Longtec
? The past week, I have also started waking in the morning with RLS, mainly in my ankles.

Longtec reduction
I’ve been taking a high dose of
Longtec
opioid for several years, and now my gp wants to drastically reduce the amount I take. Obviously it’s going to be done slowly. Has anybody else had to do this and how did they get on.

looking for a neurologist
She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone and I have been on Targinact, and now
Longtec
, 3 times a day for a few weeks. It has been working well during daytime but does not cover my symptoms 24/7.

A lightbulb moment
Initially, when on 5mg times 3 I took the
Longtec
slow release which was absolutely no use, barely having any effect and lasting for no longer than 4 hours maximum.

Request for advice looking for possible new diagnosis
I asked for an MSK referral hoping I could have a corticosteroid injection to relieve that intense pain and allow me to try and get back to pottering, currently I'm stuck with my heat pad on constantly to try and get me through the day and occasionally having to take my
Longtec
(mst) which in reality

Yet another hospital stay - side effects of medication
Medication changed to
Longtec
which does seem to be helping with the back pain. OT assessment declared me to be independent and ready for discharge. However this is not my idea of independence.

Enzalutamide just keeps giving and giving: Hot heels
The enzalutamide I am taking has made the muscles in my right arm rigid, so it is far too uncomfortable to sleep on that side despite taking the opioid
Longtec
(40 mg at night). Nor can I sleep on my left side.

Back on Oxycodone
I have now made a complete changeover to
Longtec
and now take 20 mg. in the day (10 mg at bedtime and the other two 5 mg doses through the day). Incidentally my anxiety and depression have lifted a lot with the change.

Longtec ( Oxycodone) and depression
I'm on
longtec
20mgs for the dreaded RLS. It's been great ( mostly) for stopping the symptoms however for the past three weeks I've felt depressed. I'm wondering if any one else has had this happen to them? I've been taking the drug since October last year. Many thanks

At the end of my tether.....
I just can't believe they think this is more acceptable than 2x 30mg of
longtec
a day.

Im already maxed out on
Longtec
120mg daily and Duloxatine. It's become apparent that the current treatment isn't working for me and just offers a slight energy burst. I'm getting MRI tomorrow.

Swelling in legs and inflamed veins
I’m also still taking
Longtec
, oxycodin and shorter oxycodene (hope I’ve got it the right way round) Could it be this making such a fluid build up! I’m having checks on my kidneys and liver, this Thursday. Thanks x

Is feeling dizzy normal after surgery?
It's been 3 weeks since I had my Aortic Valve Replacement surgery and yes, pains etc are there for which I'm taking Shortec and
Longtec
tablets. But I have been feeling dizzy and nauseous for the last 3 days. Physically being sick twice. Today the dizziness was so bad I nearly fell.
