Kratom.

I have used kratom but was in the middle of prami withdrawl. It didn't really do the trick and it tasted disgusting. So my doctor came up with a plan. Go back on prami at. 025. Any sign of augmentation. Come off and use klonazepam. Klonazepam didn't do much for rls and the dose to get me to sleep le...

Re: Clonazepam for Sleep

I have used clonazepam. From the first day. 5 did nothing. It takes three for me to sleep. I'm a muscular 200 lb man. Don't know if size makes a difference. I can take 3 zopiclone and not sleep. I don't get a hangover on klonazepam but I can tell the next day I'm too relaxed. With a long half life d...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

So lyrica and gabapentin was a bust for me. I'm doing one week mirapex and the problem is finding something for the off week. My most recent script is clonazepam. If definitely is relaxing and I feel like I want to sleep but my leg syndrome is almost worst. I'm wondering do I need a higher dose. I w...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

Not sure what to do now. I had a cold. But I started getting really bloated and my stomache distended from gas. I thought it was just a stomache virus but it persisted for days. I was sick to my stomahe on Easter Sunday. I had thought it might be lyrica causing this so I tapered off over a few days....

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

Yes by vivid I mean seems real but nothing traumatizing. I have nights where it's hard to get to sleep but slept good when I did. But overall it's getting better. Hopefully will continue to

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

First day at 300 mg. slept good last night. Had vivid dreams which I assume means I'm asleep long enough to reach that stage. Woke up feeling good. Even though it was 430 to go to work. Fingers crossed

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

Last night was another night where I had a hard time getting to sleep. Symptoms aren't as bad as they have been but annoying enough to keep me awake. Today I decided no more screwing arround. I'm going to 150 am and 150 pm which brings me to the study dose. I'll give this a whirl see how it goes. I'...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

It seems to have lost effectiveness what's the best way to take this. I took a third 75 mg last night. I didn't sleep well and I'm a little spacey today. I'm wondering if divided doses would be better. My doc prescribed 75 mg at bed time but I'm reading it might have to build in your system so bed t...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

So my doctor decided to try lyrica. I've been taking 150 a night and it seems to work most nights. I seem to sleep longer although some nights I take awhile to get to sleep. I have some room to go to a higher dose as 300 mg was the study dose but I prefer to try lower as long as possible. I feel cal...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

So I decided since I have a script for gaba I'd give it another whirl. I'm taking 2100 a day now and it seems to work most nights. Although I still have some nights. I'd still prefer the 1 week prami followed by one week of a decent narcotic. I know 75 mg codeine works but so far only allowed 60. Ho...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

Ended up taking 3 codeine and had a good night sleep. Not sure what they will allow me for doseage. Worried they might be upset with me upping it on my own. Can't see her til march 15 I'll run out by then

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

I've been to a sleep specialist now. They are alternating one week mirapex with one week codeine 60 mg. codeine doesn't seem to do much but he week of mirapex is great only using .25 compared to 2 to sometimes 3 mg before. I'm trying gabapentin for a couple nights. Last night an early evening 1200 p...

Re: Mirapex to gabapentin

Should I be taking this throughout the day or just at night I take 900 to 1200 spaced out throughout the day now but don't seem to have many daytime issues lately
