Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it a lot. I'm sorry it took so long to respond again; it is the busy essay writing season for me.

Just out of curiosity, for those of you how use oxycodone, what is your dose and how long have you been at it?

-Thanks

Tolerance: When to Increase Your Dose?

Hello all, it's been a long while since I last posted. But I am really glad to see to community is still alive and kickin' (bad joke I know). You may or may not recall that I worked my way through the Mayo Clinic algorithm fairly quickly finding no relief from DAs and little improvement from clonaze...

Thanks Zach, hearing that this has happened to someone else makes me feel better. After the visit I had with the doctor I felt really guilty for even asking. And your experience sounds almost identical to how my doctor acted. I did bring up hydrocodone during our conversation. But all he said was th...

Rejected, denied, no dice-ed

You may recall that I am a student in my early twenties and recently I went to the campus doctor's office to see the Doctor who had originally diagnosed me last year, and who has been treating me while away from home and my regular doctor. However, I went to ask for a refill of my medications (gabap...

I have looked into the side effects but have not seen jaw tension as a listed one. However, I am aware that gabapentin effects people very differently and a lot of strange/ unique side effects can occur. I should have mentioned that I have tried Requip, Miripex, and Sinemet--all of which made my sym...

I Seek Your Wisdom Again

Hello everyone, I posted here about a year ago to get some information and it was a big help. I need help advice again and hope you can provide it. Also, I apologize for not keeping in touch. Here's my situation. I was taking 600mg gabapentin three times a day, but after about ten months I found it ...

Well, I met with my doctor today and he gave me some tramadol to try and thought I should have another consultation/ testing with the neurologist given that his recommendations didn't help. But in the mean time I'm hoping the tramadol helps more than codeine did.

First off, thank you all for your feedback. Second, I will briefly describe my experiences with each medication I've taken. Also, I'd like to mention that I have been to a neurologist and was checked for signs of neuropathy. However, he concluded that it was indeed RLS and I experience all the typic...

First Post -- Moving to Opiates

Hello all, I got diagnosed with RLS about seven months ago and have been cruising these forums for info for the last while. However, I feel it's time to make my first post. I hope you can help me out. I have pretty much run the list of medications and so far nothing has helped. I was first given Neu...
