I have been treated with RLS drugs for at least 10 years & have been through most of them including the various Dopamine agonists (& subsequent augmentation)tramadol gabapentin &
opioids
. I have avoided alcohol & caffeine. I take iron, & have used every sensible self help measure under the sun.

EMAIL from Professor Richard P Allen John Hopkins
Yes buprenorphine is one of the
opioids
used for refractory RLS with reasonably good results. It tends to get used after methadone is tried, but it is very effective in many patients.

Doubling Flare after 7 days of Casodex and 1 day of Zolodex
We took more
opioids
. He was only on 1/2 oxy 5, and occasionally a 5. We needed 10 every 4 hours. Our doc thought it could be a good sign since he was getting a reaction and said it should begin to drop in about 1 1/2 days. Sure enough it dropped. We lowered pain meds.

Buprenophine success!
I did see on the âWebinar 2016: What is the Role of
Opioids
in RLS?â that buprenorphine was one was of the safest
opioids
.. with much less respiratory distress and central nervous system sedation than many of the others.

Difference between gabapentin and pregabalin?
I am almost out of options; am working to build up iron, have tried everything else I can think of, can't find anything except
opioids
to go, and don't want to go there. Tramadol have very negative side effects. Need feedback re pregabalin vs. gabapentin.

Has anyone dealt with a broken bone from a lesion?
Also, he's convinced
opioids
don't work for him. They've given him narco and it barely touches the pain. Again, he's terrified of what's to come. I hate this disease. I really hate it. Hate. It.

Where do I go from here ?
I have talked to my doctor about iron( my ferretin is 21) and
opioids
( he gave me Tramadol on an emergency basis). But he has bluntly refused for IV Iron and has just asked me to take Requip 0.5mg.

Warning re Gabapentin and Pregabalin
âGabapentinoids are often being combined with CNS depressants (
opioids
), which increases the risk of respiratory depression.â

Looking for advice
Are
opioids
the answer? I also saw that some people have gotten an âinfusionâ. What is that about? Reading all these posts from other people who have the same problem is weirdly somewhat comforting. I had no idea this problem was so widespread.

Taken off meds
The hospital doc took me off that plus all my psych meds, my Tizanadine (I am severely disabled and take no
opioids
). I felt he didn't know my trauma and what I have been through. I am trying to get back to see my psych doc that had left my clinic so I hadn't been able to see her.

RANDOM THOUGHTS , QUESTIONS, AND A MOAN OR TWO ABOUT DOCTORS AND UNECESSARY UNKINDNESS
My gp told me RLS is to small a condition to use the power of
opioids
on. Thank goodness I have a neurologist who isn't in the dark ages. I told the ignorant one that contrary to his belief RLS is the most damaging disease I have experienced . He was taken aback. At the information shared ? No.

I THINK I NEED SUPPORT
I thought when I finally found a doctor who would prescribe
opioids
for me so I could withdraw from ropinirole that things would be better. In some ways they are... I was sleeping some , more than I have in a year. I got a c-pap which is a positive . I still haven't found the right opioid.
