Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi Becattx and Jan . . . everyone else too! Thanks so much for your help and support while I'm feeling so down this week. I left the board after my last post and just cried at my desk - looked a little silly so I went to lunch early - but it's just because I sometimes feel I don't know which way to ...

Hi Leelee! Trust me, you'll probably hear from a lot of us! You SOUND like a lot of us! Many describe it as a crawly feeling, like bugs are crawling - kind of - but like you say, it's hard to describe exactly. Mine started when I was younger, just now and then and over the years has worsened. I didn...

Hi Becattx, Thanks for the message back to my post. After reading several posted from Sherry's post I was feeling kind of awkward. Like I shouldn't have said how I felt. I didn't feel I was rude either, but I guess because I'm overly sensative, I was feeling a little "accused" until I read your late...

Hi Becat, You said everything I was wanting to say, but you probably said it so much nicer. I was feeling almost like someone was telling me it was in my head . . . again. I try not to be sensative, but right now I'm scared to death I'm going to have to up my requip or change all together and I gues...

Hi!

I do have migrains, but never related it with my RLS. This is something I'll have to pay attention to, to see if one thing is worse when both are here. This could be interesting! If anyone else relates, please share!

Thanks!
Audrey

Hi All! Didn't know anyone was interested in Topomax! I take 150 mg each night. I also take .25 requip at noon and 2 mg requip at bedtime and I'm on 80 mg prozac just to mention a few things in my meds list. Anyway, the topomax was perscribed because of the depression and my not being able to sleep....

Hi everyone, I've been reading all the post on this message board and how so many people have pain with their RLS. I didn't really relate because where I feel crawly and achey doesn't really hurt. But just as I was reading someones bio a minute ago, it dawned on me what I would be putting down if I ...

Hi Bunny, I'm new to this message board, but I did the same as some of the others did and added it to my favorites list. That makes it easy. But what I find is a little difficult is navigating through all the different topics to see what who has written last, so that I can keep up with the latest in...

Hi 89 Hope you're feeling a little better today. And sorry you were offended at the talk of exercise or sports. I'm not sure, but I think from what I've been through, it isn't necessarily sports or exercise that's important, but movement of some kind that is. You see, muscles that aren't used, will ...

Hi Everyone! Well I went to the doctor and asked for my Prozac to be changed to Wellbutrin. Doc said they aren't interchangable - different cemical make up, so that's not an option for me. We had a hard time finding something that helped my depression, so he's not willing to change the type drug I t...

Hi BobbyD, Don't know if you saw my post in another section, but I'm on requip and have been for a couple years now. It works for me, though I have had to increase the dosage because my leg kicks have started earlier in the day. I take .5 mg at noon and 2 mg at bedtime. This takes away all signs of ...

Hi Ann! Thanks so much for the suggestions! I go the doctor in about two hours and I intend to ask him about Wellbutrin and about switching the requip for the other you mentioned just to have a "holiday", and see if it helps. I hate feeling like I'm always in a panic or in fear of the kicks coming o...

Hi! Me again! "Guest" who signed "Audrey" is me. I'm new at this message board thing!!!

Hi Ann, Thanks for explaining that in more detail. The more I understand about this the better. That's why I joined this message board! I've already learned a lot from "Jumpy Owl" about my dreaming and why I wake up so darn tired. Talking to my doctor today about that! Thanks to everyone for help yo...

Hi Bedakaya! I'm on Requip and have good luck with it! I have had to up the dosage however. I now have to take .5 mg in the afternoon because my leg kicks started earlier in the day. Then I take 2 mg at bed time to get me through the night. Been on this for about 2 years now and so far so good! I do...
