Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I recently went to my YEARLY appointment with my sleep doctor to renew my Suboxone for another year, but because of the pressure being put on doctors (the doctor told me this) he now wants to see me every 6 months to extend my prescription for Suboxone (buprenorphine which is an opioid). I have no i...

I also took pramipexole for 6 years and it worked really well until augmentation. The mistake I made (and my doctor) was trying to keep using it on and off for several years after that. If I could rewind time I would have called it good after six years and would have never used it again. There are m...

I see another 5 weeks have gone by since I have been on here. There is all kinds of things I could be doing but mostly work out in the yard getting the plants and yard looking nice. It makes me feel irritated about myself as I have the talent to do many things but apparently not the inclination to a...

Actually my wife found this Cow Thymus medicine and I was over whatever it was in a few days. This is the third time this stuff has worked on me to reduce the effects of getting sick. It worked on my wife even better, she was coming down with it yesterday and is already okay. She has us take it righ...

Dang I think I am coming down with flu, I am stopping St John’s Wort in case it is from it. Just took my temperature though and it is up 2 degrees. I sure hope it is not flu as we were having family here for Easter. I may have to just stay in bedroom while they are here. The year before we both got ...

One thing the 1000mg a day St John’s Wort seems to be doing is taking away my appetite, either that or I am coming down with something. Also seems to make me feel warmer. Not sure if I feel much better but then it could take awhile. I almost never loose my appetite which is strange. 2 nights ago I f...

I haven't used St John's Wort but have read about it from time to time and am aware that it can cause various interactions with other medications. I dare say you have found these interactions as you have investigated it's use. Please be careful. I will be careful. It may not even do anything but th...

I investigated the interactions more on web and it says it may lesson strength of Suboxone. I’m going to get some though as I am taking only 75% of my prescription now, so I could take the other 25% if it weakens it. If it takes more than that then I will stop taking St John’s Wort (by the way it ha...

How about St Johns Wort for depression? I searched on St Johns Wort on here and it does come up a few times but then few people take Suboxone like I do for RLS. Difficult to find anything on web about interactions. I am going to take it unless anyone has some negative feedback on using it. Thanks in...

Not possible to see doc sooner unfortunately.

Interesting thought about which reality is real.

Exercise does help me and have not done much lately, maybe I will work on it lol.

Seems many of us RLS people have depression too, not surprising, take care.

Hey thanks everyone. I am going to a new general practitioner doctor in about a month. Our insurance has changed and so all are doctors are changing. Although I am going to my old sleep doctor, found out yesterday it will be $250 to see him once a year to continue getting Suboxone, not bad. Actually...

Several months have gone by since coming here. I have had a lot on my mind. Extremely sad. Some ways I am really healthy but other ways I feel defeated. Nothing will really get better and I just have to try to live with it. I try to hide out by reading and or listening to audio books. Movies too but...

We have an Amazon Echo and alarms are set for my meds but even then I shut off alarm sometimes and get distracted. Later I find out the hard way I haven’t taken them lol. I seem to be doing well. I have lost 45 pounds and in 34 waist pants and medium shirts which has not happened in this century :D ...

I have had vertigo on and off for about 15 years. The first time was the worst - woke up feeling a bit off, rolled over and then fell out of bed from the extreme dizziness. Vomited in the elevator - in a high rise and was trying to get to the hospital - and in the cab (the whole ride). Good heavens...

Could it be inner ear ? Don’t know but I’m okay today. Weirdest physical thing to ever happen to me, thought I must be dying when it happened. Hopefully it will never happen again. Online it mentions crystals moving around within inner ear but have no idea, could have many causes. It was just so fa...
