Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

It is now approaching 4:00 a.m. and Edith is beginning to get some relief. I had been wondering if clonazepam might be worth a try since it was something they gave her back in March/April last year as well as percocet but we don't have any of that..

What are you doing up so late, fellow Canadian? I'm glad that you are, but I should have waited for your response. I did give Edith .125 mg. (1/2 of the .25 mg) Pramapentin an hour ago and the other half ( .125 mg.) a few minutes ago, now I gave her 100 mg. Gabapentin to compensate for that. She als...

My husband tells me that the restlessness is still apparent even though I am sleeping. However, last night when I went to bed around 10:30 ...

Holland, thank you for your thoughts. I was given Percocet while recovering from the broken tibia but that was only for a few days and then switched to Clonazepam for about a week. Pramipexole was reintroduced until the switch to Gabapentin in November. Everything seems to go well as long as I take ...

I'm in a very similar situation. I've had RLS as long as I can remember but I was able to walk it off in years gone by. More recently, I couldn't go on long trips before having to stop and walk it off. About 5 years ago, I was referred to a sleep clinic and was placed on Pramipexole (0.25) @ 2 pills...
