Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thank you for the replies. There are some interaction concerns with tram ado land neupro, mainly in the "increased drowsiness" area. This could explain the lightheaded feeling also. Possibly the feeling of "lost time" as well. It is also possible the dose was too high; however, I...

Kratom works for me, red Borneo for night white Borneo for day. It works in 20-30 min for me. I am on tramadol extended release and face your same issue daily, except I think the tramadol wears off in about 18/20 hrs, and takes about 5-6 to start helping RLS symptoms. I can't just take the tramadol ...

I recently saw a new Neurologist (partner of my previous neurologist) because this Dr is more familiar with RLS patients. He had me try the Neupro patch. I started with 1 mg/24hr for a week, then went to 2mg/24hrs. I have been (and continue to) treat my RLS with tramadol er 300 and kratom as needed ...

I have a question for those of you who are currently prescribed strong opiates fir non-painful RLS symptoms... Have you encountered a situation where you needed a strong opiate for pain (broken bones, surgery) in addition to treatment of RLS? If so, how was this pain addressed and was it effective? ...

In the post you copied in, the one part should read "small amount of raspberry lemonade."

I'm not sure. It seems to be the common understanding (Maeng da), I wouldn't try it right before bed. It has been a long time since I ordered Maeng da, and I would say it's prob not worth it to buy it. Mmmspeciosa always sends extra. Sometimes it is a new strain labeled only with letters/numbers for...

"But about 60-70% of nights I can sleep through the night."
Is what I meant to say... Needed a calculator!

In my opinion it works as good or better than tramadol. I do see a neurologist, and had been through requip and mirapex, both of which helped but gave me horribly aching knee and ankles the next day, which got worse each consecutive day I took it. Gabapentin and horizant made me very tired but didn'...

I currently order almost exclusively from Phytoextractum. They always have 20%-25% off on Mondays. Once in a great while I still order from mmmspeciosa. Both have been very consistent with product quality, but Phytoextractum is much cheaper. For sleeping at night, Horned Red and Red Borneo are my fi...

Places I trust and still currently order from: Phytoextractum.com (Portland) mmmspeciosa.com (Texas) botanicalwellness.com (Kentucky / Ohio) Red Borneo powdered leaf variety seems to be the best for nighttime. In general the red vein varieties are best for evening, green and white are generally bett...

Thank you Mary!!
Good suggestion Beth!
Having a cup of tea and off to bed for me. The Green Malay strain I currently have has been effective all night for me!

Mary, Here is a list of House Health committee members and their email addresses. Thank you so very much in advance for any support you are willing to give to help us here in Michigan. Gail Haines (R, Chairperson), GailHaines@house.mi.gov Mike Callton (R), MikeCallton@house.mi.gov Hugh D. Crawford (...

Nellie, I have now tried more than a few Kratom vendors and have found "mmm speciosa" located in Texas to be consistently high in quality, and they always send extra samples to try. I am in Michigan and it almost always only takes 3 days to receive my order when I use the Priority mail (ab...

Thanks Beth, yes I need anywhere from 3-5 grams of Kratom for it to start working and 5 is so far the max. I have found quite a difference among the different kinds of leaf vein, the main difference being the extent to which kind produces an unwanted "alertness/wakeful" boost similar to co...

I take anywhere from 3-5 grams of Kratom for it to effectively erase the RLS sensations. Maybe mine is less effective than the Kratom you get (maybe physical differences, body chemistry also). I use mostly red vein Thai or red vein indo as my vendor (mmm speciosa in Texas) calls them. I don't get an...
