Attitudes to people using opiates
We all have a back story. I know nobody wishes to be thought of as a drug addict. But there may be members with RLS who are recovering drug addicts, or alcoholics trying to get their lives back on track, and needing support from this forum. Its a sensitive are. I hope I haven't offended or upset anyone

Lost confidence
I've always been the main driver and when I started taking strong
opiates
for spinal problems I booked an assessment with the Institute for advanced motorists to be sure the meds were not affecting my reactions. Passed with flying colours. Now, since my heart attack I've totally lost confidence.

Diltiazem
After more than 20 years on
opiates
my digestive system has slowed right down. I have laxatives daily and still can't "go". A huge amount of my chronic pain is from bowel adhesions . The pain gets far worse when I can't go properly.

Opioid prejudice at the pharmacy
At my local chemist, there are a few members of staff who are rude and hostile towards patients who are prescribed
opiates
. I pick up my prescription every month. When I go in these staff members can be hostile and very rude.

RLS and Parkinsons
If there is any validity to this proposal then the logical next step would be to start weaning her body off the pramipexole very slowly and with the help of gabapentin or
opiates
if possible.

Buprenorphine, Nausea & Zofran (Ondansetron)
I successfully take 0.4 mg day buprenorphine to treat RLS but the nausea side effect is very troublesome and there does not seem to be a satisfactory plan to get the better of it. I have unsuccessfully tried many anti nausea drugs and methods including Symprove probiotic and seem to be left with only

Pain Relief that isn’t opiate based. Help!
My stage 4 HGOC with mets on bowel (miliary disease) among other places and has now become painful. I was given morphine but it put me into bowel obstruction so I am now too scared to have any opiate based painkillers. Has anyone found any other pain relief that works and doesn’t slow the bowel?

I think Tramadol has caused my RLS
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'd love some advice, please. I have MS - I was diagnosed in the late 90s. I'm lucky that it hasn't affected me badly (yet), but I do suffer from pretty severe nerve pain. I managed it with Co-Codamol 30/500 for years. I'd been prescribed 8 per day but rarely took more

THE WAR AGAINST PRAMIPEXOLE
This is a progress report in my battle to quit Pramipexole: TIME: I have done just 6 days on a reduced amount of Pramipexole ( one 0.088 tablet at night ) This allows me to sleep for most of the night. PLAN: to stay on one tablet for the next 10-14 days, then move to half a tablet for the next 10-14

Diltiazem
After being on
opiates
for 20 years, my stomach and bowel are now not working properly and I need daily laxatives and even they don't work well. Over the hospital stay I was unable to "go" for 5 days. I also started getting painful mouth ulcers as soon as I took the first tablet.
