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

Buprenorphine and nausea
I will be switching from methadone to buprenorphine. How common is nausea as a side effect? Does it go away over time? My doctor gave me 60 anti-nausea pills, but insurance hasn't approved my switch to buprenorphine yet. Just wondering what to anticipate. I asked to change because of some cognitive

Long Covid
I have had RLS for decades and have had more help on this site from wonderful people than from any medical person. Currently I take Methadone 15 mg daily which gives me about 5 hours of broken sleep per night. I can live with it as its the best I have had for decades. I wonder if some Marijuana would

Interesting Tx for OIC
Sorry about the abbreviations. If you have Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) you might be interested in this little story. Tx means Treatment. I am currently on low-dose opioid for RLS--buprenorphine, but previously methadone--and I suffer from OIC. I have been taking a variety of laxatives

Opioid induced loss of appetite
I'm currently taking Buprenorphine, but it seems to be causing a major loss of my appetite. Does anyone know if either Suboxone or Methadone are better in regard to appetite suppression? I can't tell you how important you all are to all of us trying to deal with titration off of these terrible DA's

Methadone and cognition
I just had a cognition test and came out "low normal". I have felt the last couple years that my memory is not what it used to be so this is confirmation. However, I feel much more stupid on methadone. Could this be related to my dose? Take 10 mg around 10 pm, and then another 5 mg in the middle

Can damaged/irritated nerves cause RLS?
I've had RLS for a few years now. I've also had to have RFAs in a couple of places around L5 and my sacroiliac joint because of really bad pain from inflamed nerves. The RLS started well before I had the RFAs, but after I started having the pain. The doctors I've asked say RLS isn't caused by that (inflamed

rls and leg weakness
This is a response to another post asking about correlation of RLS and numb hands and feet. I think there is a connection. However there are so many other possible explanations. A search of "nerveguard MD" does list RLS. But more common comorbidity explanations are pinching nerve fibers from carpel

My story won't apply to everyone, of course, but you may find a nugget worth considering. I've had mild RLS intermittently for forty years until it recently worsened. I'd always managed it with weighted heat, L-Tryptophan, magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, and if necessary, a little pacing. At age 36,

Switching from Methadone to buprenorphine
I’ve been taking Methadone for a little over 2 years after I augmented on Tramadol. I absolutely love how well the Methadone works. I rarely have symptoms and when I do get them a quick hot bath and I’m good again. The part I don’t like is the 20 pounds I’ve gained. It makes me feel hungry all the

How to wean off of ropinirole and find a good doctor.
My husband is on 8 mg of ropinirole ER a day (4 in morning and 4 in evening. He has been taking it for over 15 years and whenever he would start getting augmentation, he would just increase the dose. That always worked but it’s way too much. We just moved to Florida and cannot find a good doctor for

Sobriety and preparing withdrawal from Pramipexole
Hi RLSers, I have been struggling with RLS, first when I was around twenty years old and now as I am well into my middle age. I have been sober for 23 years, but a few years back I started taking Pramipexole. This drug has created more problems for me than it has solved. At the beginning it works

Alternating meds
I wonder if anyone else has experience with a RLS therapy method of alternating .375 mg Pramipexole and Methadone 20-30 mg every 10 days? I also use marijuana which helps maybe 40% for about an hour. My case is very severe with many previous pharmacologic failures including Alpha 2 Ligands, Buprenorphine
