Duloxetine ?
I am seeing a new and young Family practitioner and after telling her my neurologist after having 2 MRIs cervical and spine she just wanted to up my gabapentin and was fine with me taking 4 mg of ropinirole 2 x a day...and then dismissed me as a patient after I said I have been on gabapentin for

Hrt advice
Good morning I started Trazodone in April and unfortunately this too affects my restless legs . I’ve taken dopamine pills for years for my symptoms and feel this has contributed to me feeling depressed. I’ve been clear of these awful pills for a long time and now take Gabapentin . I’m considering

Sun protection. Mineral sun lotion on a budget
Staying protected from UV rays is high on many peoples list this week, with layering and staying in the shade so important. I’ve read that mineral based sun lotion is better than chemical as it creates a barrier on your skin that reflects UV light so t hey don't absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreens

My PCP just increased Ropinirole. I’m pretty sure I’m in augmentation
I have been on Ropinirole for 1 1/2 years. It was a miracle drug for me until about 3 months ago. My PCP said to double the dose. But that hasn’t been helping. I now get flairs during the day (never had them during the day before), It takes a long time to work (an hour or more) while it used to be 15

Appointment with Robin Fackrell
I have an appointment with Dr Robin Fackrell at the beginning of October. I am hoping that he will be able to assist with my restless legs, and with the peripheral neuropathy too. I am having problems with needing more ropinirol to keep the restlessness at a bay. I have had no success with Gabapentin

Is it time to swap from Gabapentin to Pregabalin?
I’m up to 1800mg (6pm/8pm/10pm) of gabapentin now with one 30mg dihydrocodeine. Waking 3 times a night and now sometimes needing a second dihydrocodeine as the legs are bad. Wondering what are my best next steps. Im thinking Pregabalin. I know you get the equivalent dose but would you ask for the same

Methadone or Buprenorphine?
I have been on morphine successfully some years for severe RLS. However I'm beginning to think I need a change of meds. Opioid induced insomnia has gradually worsened so that I'm surviving on about 2 hours sleep now. I'm thinking of asking for either methadone or buprenorphine .I 've been thinking

I finally got my sublingual buprenorhine!
Hi everybody! Thanks to this forum I finally got a neurologist who was willing to prescribe me 0.2mg sublingual buprenorphine tablets. I've been on 100 tramadol for two weeks and was wondering which would be the wiser way of switching from one to the other and finding the right dose. I'm a bit worried

Drug rash from Gabapentin/Dihydrocodeine? Anyone else?
In the past month I’ve noticed a drug rash from Gabapentin and/or Dihydrocodeine. It’s on my face and neck and chest. It’s not itchy but is hot and comes on after my last dose at bedtime. It’s not anaphylaxis (I’m a retired Paramedic) but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this? Thank you

Rythmol/Propafenone
Has anyone been prescribed this antiarrhythmic? Due to the flecainide not working for me, my doctor wants me to go on this drug. I’m really hesitant to try another drug because of the Flecainide not working. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this medication and if so, did it work?

I have had RLS for around 40 years. I was on ropineral for about 20 years and was taken off by Dr. B around 3 years ago.

PLMD and RLS Update
25 + years ago, I began experiencing symptoms with leg jerkiness during sleep, causing me to rise and stretch and sit up until the movement stopped.
