Far from being a cause of distress as was the case with the untold misery of a month ago walking the house at night feeling that familiar dread that comes with severe sleep deprivation and feeling like you’re teetering on the edge of an abyss, I now feel a certain sense of euphoria knowing that I will

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

Gabapentin
I am currently taking 5 300mg Gabapentin a day. I'm also taking 0.5 mg of pramipexole 5 times a day and hydrocodone 3 times a day which helps. Gabapentin alone didn't help me but I hope it does you.

Any substitute for Bupropion?
Hi All. I was on Citalopram for depression, but that made my RLS worse. So Professor Walker at Queens Square suggested Bupropion as a substitute. I have just found out from my Pharmacy that Bupropion is no longer manufactured (so they say). I e-mailed Professor Walker yesterday for another substitute

Seeking advice for changing from Temgesic to Gabapentin for treating my refractory RLS.
I have moved to a new area and need to change Doctor. I had a double appt last week and the new Doctor refused to prescribe Temgesic. I have been taking tbis medication successfully for 2 years now. I am having my medical records sent through to the new medical practice. I thought I should look into

Restless leg cure
Well I hope it is for some of you. I've been down all the various medication routes and magnesium cream and jels and nothing still the same getting worse by the week. Until someone suggested what worked for them and it's worked for me, I'll also add I've suffered with constipation for decades and nothing

How long shall I trial codeine before giving up on it?
Hi all RLers, I started codeine beginning of April. First 8mg slowly to 30mg, which made me sick but I got 6hrs without RL and slept. Down to 16mg, back to 30mg without side effects this time. The trouble is I only get 1 good night on the increased dose before the RL is back as usual. I am hoping

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

RLS amino acids
Hi, I don't have RLS since taking Amino Acids. If I leave them off 2 nights running it comes back as bad as before. I don't know if they do me any harm but it's better than the torture every night. I take Glutamine, Ornithine and Lyseine. If anyone tries this please let me know how it goes. I have

Oxycodone, RLS
Morning everyone, another sleepless night. Where do we go from here? Now taking Oxycodone - 5mg in morning, 10mg at 9pm and another 5mg about 3am as well as 1400mg Gabapentin spread over evening. Nothing working. Cannot get Buprenorphine in our area because it is on red list. Really feel like we have

Pramipexole update
After eight weeks of cutting back, I have finally done three nights without any pramipexole. Immediately I suffered a return to restless legs, but taking some CBD gummies has helped. Mentally, I feel much better knowing that I am no longer dependent on the tablets. Physically, I feel weird but I suppose

pramipexole shortage
I have taken pramipexole for RLS over 15 years. Before that I took Ropinirole, which lost its effectiveness. There is hardly any 0.18 mg (180 mcg) left in any Leeds pharmacies . I got just half my prescribed amount today. Without it I shall never sleep again, but be a writhing mess. One reads in the

augmentation on neupro+Gabapentin. should I switch to a different dopamine agonist? All that’s helping is cannabis.
I’ve been on Neupro 1mg patches for 4+ years. I also currently take 800mg Gabapentin: 400mg twice a day. In the last month my RLS symptoms have appeared nightly beginning around 9:30pm. I’m able to fall asleep but then wake up in the middle of the night with RLS symptoms. The only thing that’s helped
