Robaxin muscle relaxer possible trigger ?
I could use some advice. Iron infusion didn’t offer full coverage and my ferritin skyrocketed over 1,000 and has remained there. So that’s on hold. Vimpat/lacosamide worked well for a bit then got spotty. Methadone 5 mg at 10 pm and another 5 usually between 1 & 3 am was working well. So the doctor

hi Joolsg, Sue, Chris and others This forum is literally a life-saver for many including me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do to help us. We cannot trust doctors and without you we would still be going round in circles, until … I have now been on 10 mg methadone for 3 full

Buprenorphine and methadone
Hi there everyone I am now seeing dr Stephen Gibson pain specialist and Anesthesiologist. Dr prof yee referred me to him for low dose opioids. I started on 5mg Buprenorphine patch- zero relief. He has added 5 mg methadone - instant relief. Any thoughts as to why the mix and not just the methadone?

Hubby's RLS
My husbands RLS has increased with age and his recent full knee replacement two years ago. We have been seeing an RLS/Sleep doctor from Johns Hopkins since last November and are on a slow journey to figure out which combinations of meds will help him. He was on 2 Horizant pills when we first saw him

methadone - with food or without?
does anyone know if the bioavailability of opioids are affected by food? Should they be taken with a meal, or some time after?

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

Cupping
I take 10 mg of methadone which works most of the time except when I get too much exercise or get dehydrated or get too little exercise or lots of other unknown reasons and I wake up in the middle of the night with RLS. The most surefire way for me to go back to sleep with no RLS is to use Chinese acupuncture

add injury to my misery
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. I tried methadone ( didn’t like the drug hangover), oxycodone ( worked fairly well for about 8 months) and am now on Buprenorphine/Naloxone sublingual film 1/5 or 1/4 of a film in

lab work 8 weeks post iron infusion - advice?
I had an infusion of Injectafer 750 mg on April 29 and had labs drawn exactly 8 weeks later per advice or information on this lifeline :) Now I would truly appreciate hearing some fellow RLS sufferers thoughts and advice on iron infusion and medications. I’m currently still symptomatic but much improved

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. The GP prescribed gabapentin, which led me down the road until 2016 with a move to Phoenix, and to visit a neurologist. After testing, and his patient for

For those considering methadone
hi again everyone, I just want to give a quick update for anyone who may be considering methadone. After trying many other drugs, and after augmentation and withdrawal from dopamine agonists, I started mid Feb on 2.5 mg methadone and have titrated slowly over 4 months to allow my body to get used to

Exercise that often helps
Although I have experienced intensification of RLS symptoms after heavy, prolonged daytime exercise, paradoxically I have sometimes found significant relief with short bursts of fairly intense calisthenics when symptoms hit at night. As mentioned elsewhere, I have had RLS since my teens. By about age

Methadone induced brain fog
Hello friends! I have been successfully using 10 mg of methadone for 18 months with no side effects. The past few months I have been experiencing brain fog. It is increasing in severity and frequency. My search to see if methadone or bupremorphine can cause this is enlightening. It definitely can

methadone no longer helping
I am 87 and live in Australia I have had RLS for at least 4 decades. Only slept when on morale’s. Finally got methadone and had a heavenly 5 hours sleep for 4 years now. I had multiple pulmonary embolisms last year. No source found I needed increase of Methadone to 10 mg twice daily due to anticoagulants

Switching to pregabalin or gabapentin from methadone
I have very much appreciated the information here over several years but never posted before. I have been able to control my RLS (which I’ve had since teen years along with several family members - I’m now 80) with a divided 10 mg daily dose of methadone, prescribed by my sympathetic GP here in Canada

Which treatment after dopamine agonist withdrawal?
I'm currently fighting to withdraw from dopamine agonist (DA) after a severe augmentation. I was prescribed some other drugs to help me go through this process (tramadol, pregabaline, clonazepan, wellbrutin). My plan is to get back to my pre-DA RLS baseline level, and to treat them with pregabaline only

For those taking methadone, do you think it affects your sleep quality?
Having gotten rid of almost all (but not quite!) Mirapex nearly 2 years ago, my current meds are 0.125 mg Mirapx, 600 mg Horizant, and 10 mg methadone. Eventually I hope to taper the Mirapex to zero. I have a vulnerability to obstructive sleep apnea and once my specialist had transitioned me to increasing

neurologist is recommending Clonazepam??
hi everyone, I am due to visit my GP next week to renew my methadone prescription, which I am having a fairly good response on but still have some breakthrough symptoms and want to go from 8.75 mg to 10 mg. However in the meantime, the Neurologist whom my GP referred me to 5 months ago has finally
