FDA Statement on Opioids
The FDA have released a helpful statement to distinguish between dependence and addiction to
opioids
. For those of us dependent on
opioids
to control our severe RLS, this will be useful to print out for our GPs.

Correct management of opioids?
Currently been upped from codeine to tramadol due to pain increases. The codeine made me high and the tramadol doesn’t, ive never really had an issue taking/not taking the codeine but the tramadol... I’ve had withdrawals for the last few days. I asked my doc how to manage taking the tramadol, as I have

Fear of what if.
After my second or third overdose on
opioids
, I figured maybe I had nothing to lose, so why not try it. My fear turned out to be very unjustified. If only I had researched more and asked more questions and told myself, that perhaps my fear was a little unjustified.

Managing pain and failing biological agents
I lost my rheumatologist whom had originally suggested that I look at accepting pain management with
opioids
. My new doc is very against them. And is very upset that I continue to use them.

Long Term Pain Relief
An article in today's press that might be of interest, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/21/opiods-chronic-pain-prescribe Maybe I'm missing something, but I found this article pretty gloomy,
opioids
don't generally work for chronic pain, but the NHS hasn't the resource to offer much

Opioids & CBD Oil
Can you take them together? Anyone know? With the intention of coming off the opiods gradually?

RL medication Disappointment!
He isn't keen on upping
opioids
and would rather increase the others. I also remembered to ask him what my ferratin level was and he said 'normal' at 82. 82 is higher than it's ever been in the past but I've been taking extra iron so it should be more than that now.

THE DANGERS OF ANT-HYCOTICS PRESCIBED FOR SLEEP- OLEXAR, OLANZAPINE
We agreed to go ahead and I even asked him not to give me
Opioids
after the op as my Physciatrist had advised against them. He looked at me and said I would be having
Opioids
as it was a very painful operation. He sure was correct about that!

Tapentadol and Headaches. Do they go away? Has anyone experienced this?
I had been on fentanyl patches 37.5mcg for several years, doing wonderfully with a healthy quality of life, but my insurance company kicked me off of them - I’m in USA and apparently they want me on abuse-deterrent
opioids
no matter how detrimental or the monetary cost.

a very short statement
For when "YOU" accidentally OD or scream for more
opioids
to stop the pain. That has saved me several times. Develop habits and patterns. Make things that "YOU" do regularly so ingrained that "YOU" just do them. Become the ultimate robotic soldier with some of your habits.

Has anyone used a product called Quell?
It is supposed to release naturally occurring
opioids
from your brain, providing all over pain relief. It is pricey. Please let me know, very interested. Love, Kelly

Opioid lawsuits to protect us from ourselves
He is spearheading multi-state lawsuits against the manufacturers of
opioids
and stated that, frankly, he hopes to get big enough judgments to put them out of business. Well, that is all well and good for him to say, but what about those of us who depend on
opioids
for easing our pain?

Alternative treatments for RLS.
I know you guys, know your stuff about restless leg syndrome, & may have read this article, but thought it was worth posting for thoughs who have suffered augmentation from Dopamine antagonist, & are looking at other treatments rather than
opioids
.

Exclusive use of Kratom

Why have I never known of RLS-UK before now?
So having read more on here and the Christopher Earley webnair/podcasts re
opioids
for the past 4 nights I am now taking 30mg Codeine at night as well as the Ropinerol 2mg-sleep almost all night and the leg restlessness in the day is reduced.

Restarting pramipexole
With the help of
opioids
, I was able to taper totally off of it over the course of a year. I've been totally off it for the past year now but other things I've tried have not worked well. So, I'm considering going back on pramipexole now that my body has 'reset'.
