Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I changed from methadone to suboxone and honestly I don't remember having a hard time. I now take 1mg at 9am and 1 mg at 5 pm. I still take gabapentin 600 mg three times a day.
Good luck

I have had several sleep studies. Most of them I had a very hard time sleeping. One time the doctor gave me a sleeping pill and I was awake most of the night. They just don't get that our best sleep is later, not 5am. My last one I actually slept enough for them to get the results.

Thank you

Has anyone ever tried this patch? It's buprenorphine in a patch form.
Thanks

My film doesn't cost as much as yours. I have been paying $126. That lasts me 2 months. So, $63 a month. I take 2mg a day. The way the prescription is written, they give me 60 at a time.

I take 1mg at 9am and 1mg at 5pm. I have the film. I cut it in half. I used to take it all at night and found twice a day was better for me.

Mine is usually in my right leg. When it's bad I feel it in my right groin. Then going into the thigh and then down. Rarely I feel it in my left leg. Mine originates from.my back.

I haven't had any trouble with my teeth. I place it under my tongue.

As stated above, my buprenorphine is a film, not a pill. It comes in 2 mg. I cut it in half and take one half in am and the other half in pm. I increased in over a few months from when I first started. I think it's been almost 2 years now. My RLS is mostly gone. Once in awhile I'll feel it. Last one ...

I take suboxone 1 mg divided into a am dose ans pm dose, but before that I took methadone. Before that was a DA. I've Beverly had that dide effect. I'd ask my doctor.

The suboxone is still working for me too. Good to hear from you.

For me it was just circumstances. I went off the methadone when I got the spinal stimulator. I had moved to NM and the doctors here won't prescribe methadone. I was just taking gabapentin. Originally the doctor didn't think I would need anything else for my RLS, but I did. So that's when I started ...

I am so glad I started taking the suboxone 1mg in am and 1mg in pm. I'm not as sleepy during the day. It's helping.with my pain and I'm having very little RLS. The last time was a couple of weeks ago. I don't have any dry mouth during the day. I'm feeling pretty good lately.

I was taking Methadone and now taking suboxone. There was a period of time in between.

I am now taking my 1mg in the morning and the other 1mg at night. I was having some insomnia and it has stopped. Also by taking it in the morning, it is helping with my back pain.
