Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I take ashwagandha. I only take 100 mg. It is supposed to help RLS and have some anti-inflammatory. Here is a link: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318407#uses

I have also read that it is important to tell your dentist you are on this medication. I have read it is becoming standard to see your dentist four times a year for cleanings and to ensure your teeth and gums are doing fine and are not damaged due to this medication. In the chronic pain community, t...

Hi Oozz, I am sorry to hear that you are going through all of this. Not many people read this section of this forum, I would suggest moving this comment up to medication to see if you get more hits, maybe someone else has experienced what you have. I was on Mirapex and it did not cause the headaches...

Hi, when you wake up, how long does your racing heart last? Is it a few minutes or hours? I had this happen to me and I don't think it is due to RLS or PLMD. You will need to see a cardiologist and they will probably have you wear a heart monitor for a week to see what your heart is doing during tha...

Thanks, Steve appreciate the quick response. I did find this case report from the NIH, but it only has two cases with oral ketamine. Oral ketamine: a promising treatment for restless legs syndrome https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12032026/ "In these patients, who had type 1 RLS, ketamine improved abn...

Steve thanks for getting back to me. I worry about the next steps as I did take methadone and it did not work for me, they had to take me off it. It put me in a dark hole, and I felt like I was going to die, and I did not sleep for 36 hours. I was on 2.5 mgs, took the first dose at 8 am and the seco...

Hi all, In advance, sorry for the long story, but want to know if anyone can help with my problem! I was prescribed prednisolone, methylprednisolone 4 mg 5-day course to be exact. I have just started taking a new script of 300 mgs of Horizantm, H. I was on 600 mg of H but it would take me out the ne...

That is fantastic, I hope keeping your weight off continues to keep your RLS at bay!

He SleepLover, I found it can take up to 6 months to 1 year for some gabapentin issues to resolve. I know gabapentin is supposed to help with nerve issues, but it caused nerve sensitivity to me and I am still having odd nerve sensitivity issues in different areas. I stopped taking it back in April. ...

Oh Lissa, I am so sorry you are going through this! I was put on Lyrica--my primary care doc's effort to get me off of kratom--and I took about 100 mg. for a year. But I still needed the kratom, and so tapered off the Lyrica. Coming off was not hard, and I felt much better off of it. My primary car...

Hello! I just got my card and am wondering what your ratio is for the CBD THC is, do you mind sharing?

Hi ericksonja, by any chance did the chiropractor help in the end, did it help your RLS? Thanks Lissa

Did anyone ever purchase one of these Quell or Kailo devices? @Icantsleep or @badnights

Hi Sue, I was on all the DA's and augmented. I was successfully put on Tramadol but I topped out at 300 mgs and my legs started to act up after 15 years. I tried going back on the DA's not knowing what I know now about them now from this site, but that did not work and my neurologist did not know ei...

I was put on pregabalin, not Lyrica, but its cousin, 75 mg - 3 x per day then, as it was not helping my RLS and was put on an additional 200 mgs twice a day, and I foudn it knocked me out, I was having problems with my memory, falling asleep at work. I should have told my doctor right away to take m...
