Reintroducing DA at a low dose?
What is the current thinking around taking a low dose of a dopamine agonist in conjunction with another RLS medication? I took pramipexole ten years ago and experienced augmentation after approximately 12 months. Fortunately I didn't experience DAWS when coming off it. I have been on pregabalin for

Amitriptyline and cortisol
Hi everyone, Here is one of many studies concluding that amitriptyline suppresses the HPA axis and significantly reduces cortisol levels. I have found many peer-reviewed articles claiming the same thing about opioids and benzodiazpines also, but it seems to be more pronounced for amitriptyline. I

Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles. I think this has relevance to anyone trying to taper through the lower doses of pred if they are taking opioids for pain or any

Looking for advice, yet again, please.
I had an appointment to see my GP today regarding high blood pressure. I have been taking 10mg Ramipril for some time but recently BP has been high and erratic. Apparently, I cannot go to a higher Ramipril dose, therefore, need to change. I’m aware that some BP medication can interfere with RLS, so

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 is not that harmless
dear (some) forum members, please stop recommending buprenorphine as if it were nothing. a serious side effect can be (if not even: will be) neuroinflammation (microglia-mediated inflammatory response) because it blocks the kappa opioid receptor, unlike other opioids. this is serious. massive hyperalgesia

opioid not working at all
Hi, I’m after some advice after years of Ropinirole use I have recently changed to Shortec 5mg Oxycodone. I have slowly increased the amount to the maximum recommended of 20mg per night which I take an hour before bed. Two months in I have never been so exhausted, I’m regularly falling asleep from

RLS journey- question of pain…
Hi Survivors Very quick question from me: Currently upped my Pregabalin to 100mg and so far so good. As I’ve said in previous posts, it isn’t a silver bullet but it’s helping. Insomnia is harder to kick to the curb but I’ve noticed that I’m not waking with jumpy legs but with random pain. This could

the curse of lifelong RLS…
I have had RLS for 33 years, I am 63 now with two grown up daughters. My symptoms first presented when I was pregnant, they were annoying but relatively intermittent and manageable - this is how it continued for many years with symptoms presenting during the night. I coped without medication, massaging

Low dose opioids
Hi, Does anyone know a doctor in the UK South East who I can see privately who will prescribe low dose opioids? I'm on 1800mg gabapentin and still having very bad symptoms. Thank you!

Gabapentin not working - next steps?
Ongoing RLS symptoms mostly during the day. Had a few months of respite this year where it just seemed to go away mysteriously, but is now back with a vengeance. Gabapentin 400mg three times per day doesn't seem to touch it. I take it throughout the day instead of in the evening because the RLS mostly
