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...

Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
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: Vacation Reprieve
Rust, I know how you feel. I climbed stairs in my PJs at 4 am. Usually 8 floors up and down twice would do it. I dreaded the flight home but in business Came home to a PET scan and found to have No Evidence of Cancer one year after diagnosis and treatment! Trying to get the most out of whatever I h...

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...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly
Lately my RLS has started again, for about 2 weeks. They wouldn't give me the steroid shot in the right spot. She said she was afraid because of the bone on bone of me my spine as well as the hardware in that area. She did give me 7 lidocaine shots around the lower back area. So that really didn't ...

Re: Melatonin added to the mix
Ann, You said....."I break a 2 mg tablet into 4 pieces and that is all it takes to make me tired within about 45 to 60 minutes after I take it". Do you mean that you take 1/4 of that tablet over a period of time? How much time b/w each 1/4 tab? Thanks! So sorry - I wasn't clear at all. When I use i...

Re: New-Asked to post about treatments
Hi Steve, I started a reply to you and my tablet went wonky and I had some odd keyboard. I was saying that I missed the statement about methadone keeping you awake early on when you were taking it. That's exactly what's happened with me. I've gotten fairly good pain relief but I haven't slept a nor...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly
Any opioid can cause dental issues. For me, it's dry mouth. I already had a lot of issues, but it's definitely worse with methadone. I already needed full mouth implants and now am a bit concerned to get them.

Re: New-Asked to post about treatments
Wow, my state of mind was not good when I last posted about 10 days ago. I wrote I was on "dopamine 5mg", Methadone is what I meant. It's really not a good opioid for me. I'm using it as needed, 5mg at bedtime if I'm symptom free or have minimal symptoms. 10mg if the pain has gotten ahead of me. If...
