Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Trying to figure out which bp meds don’t iritate restless leg ! I started losartan yesterday and had a really bad night not sure if it was the meds or just a bad night!!

Going there just need to know which doctor maybe need a different one

Opinions on good rls doctor in Nashville tn area

Thank you so much!

Should I be worried about augmentation? Or does this sound like a reasonable combination? If gabapentin won’t work by itsself and there is no opioid option , keep which one and can u alternate? And if low dose , how low of either one?

Too much medicine

Ferritin was 46 in April. Trying to increase with meds.

Thanks for your information I do have around
40 plus norco and Percocet. I’m taking half pill now. What pace would u reduce patch?
I’m seeing dr Walters at Vanderbilt maybe he will give something else as I go along.
Probably have to go a pain management to get opioids?

I was on 3 mg neupro patch, horrible skin problems and blisters, I’m coming off neupro patch this is 3rd night I’m now on 2 mg patch, I’m on gabapentin. Was at 1200 mg now at 1500 mg. Will go up every 4 days or so and will decrease patch slowly every week or so, last night took left over Percocet ...

What about Cbd?

Dr walters is my doctor and he said to increase as needed , so try another 100-200? Also I read insomnia can be a side effect of the patch!
