Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Some Background: I have been using Kratom for three years with a lot of success until lately I had begun augmenting. Dr. prescribed pramipexole but I have not begun that regimen because of doseage differences and the withdrawal experiences of others stemming from its use. I have kept up with the Kra...

When did the insomnia start? A lot of us get insomnia from opioid meds, I'm wondering if kratom has the same effect. The insomnia started before RLS became an issue and before I started in on opioids. When I moved to town 25 years ago I had a job on the graveyard shift for two years. I finally got ...

Thank you, I did think about giving up the ambien which I was taking for insomnia and not because of WEDS. Many nights I laid awake until 5 or 6 am while it wasn't every night that I had bouts of restless legs. And the ambien did nothing for the restless legs anyway. In other words we have separate ...

It would be best if you had a doctor who knew about the kratom, who wouldn't freak out about it. I told my doctor about my WED and my use of Kratom. I also asked him to give me a script of Hydrocodone to change things up with the Kratom. He refused, stating that because I was already taking generic...

Well stated and very reasonable. Thank-you. I have an appointment with PC physician Monday. Will go over it with him.

Yes. When he came to visit my partner brought my backpack with books to read and doses of Kratom and they opened up and confiscated the Kratom. Gave it back to me when I checked out.

My current doctor who has only been my doctor for a couple of months does not know I take Kratom nor that I have RLS. I have been managing it so well I usually don't bring it up. The last doc I had was just happy I got myself off of lortab. Thanks for your input and ordering from another supplier so...

Hi, Thanks for both your replies. Sorry I am late responding but I have been ill for the last three days: low-grade fever and chills. Interestingly enough the restless legs presented no issues at all during my illness. Not in the slightest. Back in mid-June I had a bout of pericarditis and was takin...

Hi, The last two months I have been experiencing an increase in return of restless legs symptoms after I have taken my normal dosage of Kratom. For the record I have been on Kratom for 3 years and before that I managed my condition with lortab.(8 years) Typically symptoms will return within a half-h...

Perhaps "impure" was a poor choice of words. I didn't mean "tainted" in any way. Just not as strong as I was accustomed. I can now tell how strong the batch is from the color of the batch. If it is a bright green and almost shiny then it is a strong batch. If it is a brownish-green then I have got a...

I have been using Red Vein for over two years to good effect. One time, though, the batch wasn't very pure for some reason and I had to up my doses but all-in-all I have had great success with it. I use red vein throughout the day though I don't need much in the mornings through mid-afternoons. I ta...

Not illegal in Nevada, but my doctor isn't good with alternative medicines, even medical pot. I haven't had a hospital stay since tonsils in the mid-fifties. I thought hospitals would be wary of allowing foreign medications on the premises. But then I don't know hospitals these days. Thanks for the ...

Knee replacement maybe in my future. I had meniscus surgery 7 years ago and lately the knee is bothering me.The issue I have with the surgery is will the hospital staff allow me to use the kratom. I have even thought of having it smuggled in by friends and visitors. I don't want to have to deal with...

It is good you can get it online despite it being banned in your state. Ropinerol was not effective with me. It quit working after two weeks.

Thanks
