RLS Absence and Clarification
I have had RLS for over 25+ years, used and exhausted all the RLS medications, when neurologist prescribed methadone, five months ago. I am at 20 mg, twice nightly. About 3-4 weeks ago, the symptoms disappeared, and I am trying to figure it out, possibly the Group can help. I began taking the magnesium

Psilocybin
Dear friends: I recently read a post by someone who had a resolution of RLS after medically supervised use of psilocybin. After taking Mirapex, Gabapentin, OxyContin, Methadone, and Horizant, I am desperate for alternatives. The poster lives in CA as do I. I am unable to locate the post via searching

switching meds
I have really bad RLS. I took pramiprexole and had every side effect. I went through augmentation and went through horrible withdrawal. I did try gabapentin when I was on the DAs and felt super doped up in the morning. I ended up stopping taking it. After I got of the DAs I tried without meds hoping

Now in hospice
I try to keep posts short and concise so I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. We recently returned from a 2 week trip to SoCal to visit family and friends. I was hoping to post some nice QOL pics but in actuality the trip was fraught with difficulties. On return we had a visit with my husband

why docs don’t want to prescribe opioids for RLS….😔
With all the recent total panic by docs on not prescribing opioids, I thought I would just attach Andy Berkowski’s excellent piece on why we are often being refused opioids now and almost certainly in the future at least for sometime. You may well have read this article before Kakally Andy Berkowski

Buprenorphine SL vs transdermal
Hi. Can anyone weigh in on their experience or knowledge of the advantages or disadvantages of the different formulations of buprenorphine? I understand there is a risk of severe tooth decay with the sublingual formulation but is that only in the drug-addicted population? Has anyone had personal experience

Victory!!
Finally, I have no more symptoms of RLS - through diet alone! I eat no more than 40G carbs/day, eat at least 50G protein/day, eat no sugar, maple syrup, sugary drinks, jams, jellies - nothing with a glycemic index over 40, eat only low histamine foods, and follow all the other traditionally recommended

moving to Eastern Europe
I’m wondering what meditation is available for restless legs in Europe and how enlightened Eastern Europe may be as to the use of Belbuca. I’m currently on 2 mg Neupro and 800 mg of Gabapentin. But I have used both Belbuca and Methadone in the past. I know there is a clinic on the coast in Kotor Montenegro

new meds
i have severe RLS and i take Methadone daily for this. I have recently been put on Eliquis and Spironolactone . Would either of these aggravate my RLS? Thanks for your help.

Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

Methadone Use
I am interested in hearing from others of their methadone use. Did you start out with a small dosage, and within months, became immune to that dosage, and increased it? I began with 5 mg, 2.5 mg twice a day; now it is 10 mg, although, I am reluctant to increase it to 10mg. GI problems is another factor

MS and RLS, Top UK Neurologist talks about Dopamine Agonists
One of the top MS neurologists in the UK has written about RLS in MS patients and states that he does not prescribe dopamine agonists because of the risk of augmentation. He also prescribes methadone for refractory RLS. It's a small step, but hopefully, little by little, the message will get through

How does restless sleep affect morning blood sugar?
Hi - I notice that in the nights I have problematic sleep - up many times despite good methadone treatment - my blood glucose if over 100, but then is normal after meals during the day. Do any of you have trouble controlling blood sugar after a bad night of struggling to get some zzzzs?

More Methadone?
I have had RLS for decades with real relief pretty well only from the now - forbidden Pramipexole. I have been on Methadone 15 mg at bedtime for about 2 years now which has been pretty good, allowing me approximately 5 hours of sleep some nights. Recently it has worked less well. I’ve been up frequently

Methadone withdrawal?
I am asking for a member on the fb page i am co-admin of. This lady is having a methadone drug holiday as instructed by her doctor. Her methadone isn’t working after being on it for several years. She is weaning off it but nothing she has tried to help with withdrawals is helping including medicinal

Tingling sensation in my fingers and hands. Is it caused by augmentation ?
Hello everyone my RLS is getting worse. I live in Mexico. I wanted everyone to know before I got started because there are certain drugs like buprenorphine I can’t get here. I’m finding that my arms and hands have this funny tingling in them when I go to bed. No jumping like my legs. It’s just a tingling

Going off Horizont help
The 600mg Horizont started causing the same alerting that the pregabalin and gabapentin had so my very understanding primary care doctor suggested clonodine. Started last night, while staying on the 600mg Horizont and had a good night, so the plan was to reduce the Horizont to 300mg for 4 days and then

Methadone adjustment/Horizant
Just started methadone 1.5 mL. I have a lot of trouble with drug side effects. After years on pregabalin more or less successfully treating my PLMD, it started making me nervous/anxious so I tried Tylenol #2 which made me very nervous and now I am trying the methadone. Years ago I tried 5mg of methadone
