No effect noticed here
I took Lamisil for about 3 weeks and didn't notice any effect on my sleep or daytime symptoms. Didn't cure my nail fungus, but my dermatologist thinks I'm one in a thousand.

Good stuff!
Thanks to all for the great info. Like some others, I've felt the antidepressant effects of Tramadol. The effects are, however, very short-lived. I get about 3 hours of normalcy before the drug wears off and a headache ensues. I've tried reducing my Requip dosage by about 25% lately and also taking ...

Ann's right: I meant to communicate that I'm taking multiple, perhaps redundant, drugs from the different classes mentioned in the algorithm. Quick rehash of my RLS history: I started on neurontin, I think, and did okay on that for a few weeks. It had been prescribed by my neurologist's PA, who appe...

I've read over the algorithm, and it does seem that the combination of drugs I currently take is unusual: a DA (Requip XL), a benzodiazapene (Ambien) and an opiate (Ultram). Makes me think at least one of them could be eliminated. Combi...

Thanks for the quick response, VA! I'm about ready to turn in. Ambien is doing its thing, so I might not be completely lucid. When I first started treatment for RLS using Requip and Ultram, the augmentation and rebounding were unbearable while we ramped up my dosage. Pain, cramping and jitters would...

Requip XL and depression
After I complained about augmentation on Mirapex, my neurologist recently switched me back to Requip (XL version this time). I give the guy huge props for guessing the right dosage for me; the transition didn't affect my sleep much at all. I also take Ultram and Ambien, and the combination usually l...
