Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
Well I've managed to make it through day / night 5 with no medications, the RLS symptoms are slowly subsiding but it has been very unpleasant up to this point. Its 5:28 AM here and I've been up all night with no sleep, very tired but the main reason I haven't slept all night isn't from the usual re...

Re: Methadone on backorder for nearly a month!
I just moved to Sacramento from So Cal (Orange Country). They said there was a shortage when I was here in October. That seems suspect when I have had NO issues in So Cal. I feel for you and hope they resolve this quickly. My script is due today and Dr B just called it in. It will be interesting to ...

Re: Sugar and Chocolate problems
Enough people say that sugar causes issues (and other foods), that it makes me think there must be something in sugar (and the other foods) that changes the gut composition in a way that causes issues. Some of these are temporary, some seem to be longer lasting.

Re: Oxycodone
'Alerting', so that's why I don't like going to bed til 4:00 am. I thought I was just a night owl. I have to take methadone approximately 7-8 hours before I want to be asleep (and I can STILL fight sleep even then). I usually take it by 5 PM to have any hope of getting to sleep by 12 to 1 AM. I too...

Welcome dmalone8
30 March 2024 Welcome, dmalone8, whose RLS began in their mid 30s. Now in their 50s, they've needed medication to help control RLS for about 7 years. As dmalone8 ages, the symptoms and loss of sleep it causes is have a bigger effect. Indeed - many of us find that and I sincerely wish this weren't so...

Thanks for the reply..I'm ready to get off this Requip..drop to 1-MG tonight, probably gonna be rough trying to get any sleep once I'm no longer taking any Requip but hopefully the RLS will subside after a few days. I don't know really what to expect or how I'm gonna get to sleep because I can't re...

Re: Melatonin added to the mix
I can say it has NEVER helped the urge to move issues. It helps me sleep. The urge to move is mostly controlled, but the insomnia and wakefulness at night? Those are things I battle with.

Re: Oxycodone & SIBO
Welcome, Trophyman. I think many of us can feel hopeless at times. We're glad you're here and finding information that is helpful. I wish I had something to tell you that would help, but there are so many possibilities, but so far, there is nothing that works for all of us. Many of us just have to f...

Re: Abilify
BTW I found no studies but at least a blog entry that seemed to reasonably explain why Abilify works differently at low doses: https://thoughtbroadcast.com/2011/09/13/how-abilify-works-and-why-it-matters/ Low dose abilify (around 1mg/d) might actually be worth a try for RLS, because it seems to sta...
