Experiences with

Methadose

Hi, I've posted a few times about my trials of getting off the Neupro patch. It took almost 3 years and at the end of 2024 I was finally off of it. Around the end of November, I started on pregabalin 25 mg, then up to 100 mg but had already been on and still am, on methadone for 10 years. At present

Hi all -- Firstly, I have read everything on this site and my questions have not been addressed. My current regimen, and one that I've taken for years, is tramadol and gabapentin. I take 1800 mgs of gabapentin daily, divided into 3 doses and 200-400 mgs of tramadol - rarely more. - once or twice a

Hello Friends, I have augmentation RLS because of 20+ years of taking Mirapax, and have switched to 5mg methadone for the last 4 years with a fair amount of success. Lately it seems to cause a lot of daytime drowsiness and so I signed up to get the Nidra to see if I can take less methadone. I have had

I am a 68 year old who has been treated for many years with Sinemet (carbidopa/levadopa) for my RLS, which of course has led to augmentation. I have found a new doctor (in Virginia, US), who is on the medical advisory board of the RLS Foundation. He began the switchover from Sinemet to methadone last

I am just starting my journey into discontinuing the pramipexole. I have been on it for 12 years and I was experiencing terrible augmentation. I started at 1.5 mg ER and I am down to .25 non ER pramipexole. It hasn’t been easy. I had an appointment with my neurologist yesterday and we decided my next

Sorry this is so long. I am looking for advice from you all. In 2021 I was given buprenorphine (by Dr. B in California- I am in Arizona) to come off .5 mg ropinerole. I was on 1 mg ropinerole for over 15 years. I successfully (with much difficulty) withdrew from it but after almost a month had such severe

Hi, I'd written 2-3 months ago about trying to get off the Neupro patch. I'm also on 20 mg methadone. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions! I've been off of Neupro for about 6 weeks after being on it for nearly 10 years at 4 mg. I'm on pregabalin (100 mg) and I think it helped? Don't really know. It

hi mum has discharged herself from hospital as they can’t find course of her horrendous sickness and stomach ache. unfortunately we now have to accept the buprn is the course. mum has serious ptsd from withdrawing from pramipexol and is terrified to go through that again she also has complete rls

Hi all, I have severe lifelong RL managed by 7.5mg methadone for the past year. I also have osteoarthritis in my hips. During this past year I have developed random aching in my legs that I am confused about and will soon see my doctor about. The aching goes away at night and comes on after exercise

hi all-haven’t been on here for a while dealing with things. Update on hubby: He is currently on 7.5 mg of methadone and .5 Xanax for sleep. He can’t sleep in bed or lying down because he can’t breathe well….mostly due to severe nasal congestion. He is only using saline nose drops now because the

Never thought this would happen but after three and half years on Horizant, has stopped working. Even taking twice dose didn’t do any good. I know I can’t take methadone, but I was wondering what people’s experience might be with the partial opiate called Buprenorphine. Like what is the dosage, etc.

Earlier this year I was contemplating suicide. I hadn’t planned anything, but I thought about it constantly. There didn’t seem to be any point going on without more than 2-3 hours of sleep, or even the ability to lie in bed and rest. After 11 years on Ropinirole, I’d successfully come off, but that still

I have had RLS for decades. I am 88. Recently methadone 20mg stopped working. I was sent to a pain specialist. I asked for Buprenirphine. It was apparent he knew nothing about RLS. I got up to 20mg patch. He would not order sublingual. He told me to use as much pramipexole as I needed for breakthrough

The International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) is an organization whose members are "professionals committed to advancing basic and clinical research on RLS" Their members include RLS experts from around the world including all the ones we know. However on their website under Treatment

I am on a low dose of methadone and don't feel anything about my RLS, but I am challenged with discomfort and restlessness (not RLS) in my body about 2 hours before I have to take the pill? Do any of you have experience with this, and any good advice? Kh

Long story short, I've suffered with RLS for almost 20 years. Mirapex and Neupro helped a little. Methadone made it go away, but now I live in a country where none of the 3 is available. After toying with the carnivore diet for a few months but cheating regularly, I decided to take it seriously. No

My husband has been on Methadone (10MG) currently and Gabapentin (1200MG) daily, for approximately 2 years now.. Prior to this ( and I may have mentioned in a previous post ) at the time we didn't know about anything about augmentation. He had been on Pramipaxole for a very long time, at a high dosage
