Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

Suboxone has been reported to be implicated to dental issues. RLS itself shouldn't be involved, but the use of Suboxone for your RLS could be. Thanks for looking into it for me. Nothing I can really do about it as Suboxone is the last med that works after having RLS for at least 24 years. I always ...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

I went back to dentist (actually a doctor) and he has tried to fix my tooth again but he says my body is not allowing my gums and tooth to adhere to each other. He doesn’t know why but now I wonder if it isn’t RLS or Suboxone related (or both).

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

I’m still kicking 🙂 Suboxone is still working. In the past year an old tooth root canal I had from around 10 years ago came back. I ended up going to an Endodontics doctor and he fixed it up. A month later it came back. Went again and now I am waiting another 2 weeks to see if it will be fixed but I...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

My breakthroughs symptoms occur differently. I don’t get an urge to move, i just wake up. It’s very unusual and I was trying the determine if you also may have experienced this, but I think not. Did you escalate your dose of methadone prior to going on buprenorphine? Although both are opioids, bupr...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

EEfall - When you wake up from “breakthrough” symptoms, what is it like? Do you get the urge to move or does it just suddenly wake you up from sleep? Hello. I'm not sure what you are referring too in the quote above but I looked at some of your previous posts and I took methadone for several years ...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

I have had fibromyalgia for 40+ years and find that it can wax and wane. I hope this is the case for you. I hope so too. I felt the pain before at different points but it wasn't bad, I just thought it was from exercising. Now it has flared up until it is not possible to pretend like it is not there...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

It is Fibromyalgia according to my Sleep Doctor. I went to see him at my yearly appointment and told him how I was getting this increasing pain at all these points on my body and he knew immediately that it was Fibromyalgia and he brought a picture up on his computer showing where the pain is and it...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

[/quote] EeFall, you might want to get labs drawn to see if it's arthritis and what kind. They all can cause pain, but there are treatments for certain ones. [/quote] You are probably correct. I need to make a yearly appointment with my MD soon and I will mention it. Taking Suboxone is not good for ...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

I've had to increase the buprenorphine. I'm now up to 2 mg. I was still taking it at 2 pm and just after 5pm. I kept increasing because I keep getting RLS. The Dr wanted me to start stretching exercises and that's when my RLS got worse. Is it the kind of med that your body keeps wanting more ? That...

Yes, it's working. Though some nights I have trouble sleeping even though I'm not having any RLS. Then there are other nights where I sleep 9 hours. It's very inconsistent.
9 hour sleep nights are awesome 😎

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

As it turned out, taking a second dose after 2:30 pm caused insomnia. Today I decided to just add it to my 2:30 dose. I take such a small amount that I think it will work. If I add anymore, I think the morning will be best. I'm still under 2mg. So is the Suboxone working now? It works for me but th...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

I was looking at your times, EeFall for taking the suboxone. I'd like to increase my dose. The injections are starting to not work. My back pain and RLS are getting worse. Dilemma, when to take it. I take .5 mg at 2:30 pm to prevent insomnia. I want to add another .5 mg. I used to spilt my methadon...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)

Basically yes. It starts with the severe osteoarthritis, which causes back pain and pinched nerves, which in turn both cause my RLS. So they help. I found out last year that I had a crack in my lower spine which causes back pain, pinched nerves also. When I was a teenager I had a bad fall on a moto...
