Absolutely it can cause RLS. That's what causes mine.

Re: SPINAL STIMULATOR STOPS RLS?
But my RLS is severe and she said her RLS was gone during the trial. Mine wasn't.

Re: SPINAL STIMULATOR STOPS RLS?
I have the spinal stimulator. It helped me. But I still have to take other meds. My RLS is so severe. It might take a little while to get adjusted. They will give you a rep who you'll be able to call anytime. They will start you at the setting you tried for your trial. If that works, then great. My ...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly
I have a new pain Doctor. I've had her less than a year. She never asked me about my history. She just took over from the previous doctor I had started with since moving to Albuquerque. The first injection she did was in the right spot, last summer. I had sent her a note that my RLS had returned an...

Re: Oxycodone
Oxy never worked for me if I took it more than a couple of days. My RLS would be worse. It was 5 mg

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly
Lately my RLS has started again, for about 2 weeks. They wouldn't give me the steroid shot in the right spot. She said she was afraid because of the bone on bone of me my spine as well as the hardware in that area. She did give me 7 lidocaine shots around the lower back area. So that really didn't h...

Re: Spinal Stenosis = RLS for me
I should have said, that I also have spinal stenosis. I had surgery for it in 2003. In 2018 they added hardware for Spondylosis, on L3, 4 and 5. So my back is a mess. I also have 4 Herniated discs, spinched nerves and osteoarthritis.
All of this has caused my RLS. Starting in 1990.

Re: Spinal Stenosis = RLS for me
I started with a 1/4 of the film, taking it twice. It wasn't easy to cut it, but I have tiny scizzors, 1 mg. Now I take 1/2 at 4 pm and the other half at 6:30 pm. So a total of 2 mg. I don't know how I came up with those times. My only side effect has been sleepiness at times. Sometimes just after n...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly
More than likely your sleep apnea is worse because methadone decreases your heart rate and respirations. I have severerespiration. If I sleep on my back they are worse. I find that if you can sleep on your side, that will help. If you can't, like me, I try to turn my head a little. My whole body is ...

Re: ANTHRAX VACCINES / LINKED TO RLS?
It sounds like you are augmenting on your med. Increasing the dose won't help. I've gone through that before.
I don't know about the vaccine.
