Experiences with

Methadose

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

Hi all, I take 7.5mg methadone before bed. This helps with the RL , though still get breakthroughs quite frequently. Often I am awake with insomnia and after an hour of lying there the RL starts, though it's very mild. I wondered if cannabis with THC would help me get to sleep and maybe it'll forestall

I’m stuck on pramipexole now. The first week at 2.5 mg of methadone wasn’t too bad but after one week at 5 mg the side effects were overwhelming. I talked to the Pdoc whose been handling my pramipexole taper and he said that my withdrawal symptoms to methadone were idiosyncratic and due to my kindled

My husband had a video gambling slots side effect from Neupro. These two meds that are dopamines and seem to work. He sees a neurologist and we also met with doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester about 4 years ago. Temporarily he takes 2 doses of Tramadol per day because he is scheduled for hip

My local CVS pharmacy told me they didn't have methadone and that their supplier was out of stock. I had to drive over 1/2 an hour to another CVS which did have the drug. I tried calling the local Rite Aid, Walgreens and the pharmacy in the Giant supermarket and they all told me the same thing about

Drs appointment today. I am getting stronger and stronger breakthrough rls on 10 mg methadone, to the point where I want to do something. My choices are: Increase methadone to 12.5 mg. I’m not keen due to the constipation, daytime sleepiness and the slowing of my whole body and mind which I don’t like

I've had RLS since I was 40, 28 years ago. I've been on every medication known to mankind (and a few weird ones also) and been to 18 Healthcare professionals. I have been on so many dopamine agonists... for 20 years. I developed augmentation right away,, although no one realized what was happening

I’m going up to 5 mg of methadone tonight. Eventually I will resume my pramipexole taper. Do you think 5 mg of methadone is high enough to stop the withdrawal syndrome (DAWS)?

so my hubby tried methadone and then Suboxone but both gave him severe anxiety and insomnia. So he stopped taking them. He is also on 1200 mg Horizant Doc ordered .5 mg Xanax for him. It did help with sleep immensely. So my hubby decided to test something out. He take 5 mg meth around 2 pm,

Has anyone noticed less RLS when sleeping on stomach? Often if I can't rid myself of breakthrough RLS in the middle of the night ( I take 10 mg. of methadone at bedtime), I will roll over on my stomach and then can get back to sleep. This is terrible for my back but works like a charm for calming RLS

As you know when you’re on a higher dose of pramipexole the side effects are “sleep disturbance” and “fatigue”. So I am always tired and exhausted. The main side effect of Horizant is “drowsiness”. Now I’ve been taking 2.5 mg of methadone for the last four days and its major side effects are drowsiness

So on Thursday night I will finally start taking methadone. The initial dose is going to be 2.5 mg. I have to admit that I'm always frightened about taking any can of drug that's going to affect the central nervous system. Is there anything I should be expecting or not expecting? My neurologist wants

My neurologist called a prescription into CVS for methadone but CVS said they couldn’t fill the prescription because the doctor wrote it for “restless leg syndrome” and they will only fill it for “pain”. Of course the real reason is being prescribed is to get me off from pramipexole! Does anyone else

so my hubby was taking methadone with 1200 Horizant. He stopped the meth because he was having panic attacks, insomnia etc. the doc now put him on suboxone. Are the two drugs together creating the mess. Maybe opioids aren’t for him. However the 1200 mg of Horizant was hit or miss also

I have been reading the posts about Iron Bisglycinate for a while now and thought that is wasn't for me because I have had bad reactions to iron before and I had a transfusion of iron a couple years ago and my ferritin is still over 200. But, because of the urging on here, I tried it and it is amazing

Next week I’m going to go on methadone in order to get off pramipexole. One of the side effects of pramipexole (I’m taking a higher dose than 0.5 because the withdrawal symptoms required me to increase the dose to diminish the withdrawal symptoms) is “sleep disturbance”. I just read that methadone also

Hello. Always sensible informed help here. I always seem to need more. I have severe refractory RLS for decades, for which I take Methadone 20 mg daily for very little relief. Currently waiting for an appointment with a pain specialist as neurologist isn’t happy to increase my dose. But I need your

Relacs.com - Andy Berkowski's website has some great articles in the BLOG section. This article compares Buprenorphine to methadone For those with refractory RLS, which doesn't respond after augmentation on dopamine agonists, these 2 drugs are often the only ones that help. This article may help persuade

For several years (3) I have been micro tapering from pramipexole. And as long as you don’t make any mistakes, it works well. I have tapered down from 0.875 mg around three years ago down to 0.5125 mg. Unfortunately, I’ve made two mistakes over the past three years and each time, of course, I go into

I need some advice. To make a long story short, a friend went through augmentation on dopamine agonists, tapered off and Gabapentin was prescribed 600mg at 4 hrs and 2 hours before bedtime (total dose 1200mg). Additionally, hydrocodone was prescribed to relieve severe RLS and PLMD. Hydrocodone 10 mg
