Re: Here I go...
For what it's worth, I'm making a strange concoction that reminds me of something off a dim sum cart that would be called dessert, lol. I mix an equal number of grams orange flavored psylium and kratom, sprinkle with the juice of a lemon and then add juice. The juice/lemon is twice the grams of the...

Re: Circadian Disorders and Depression
It's hard to know you can't go home because it's no longer there (parapharasing something I read somewhere).

Re: I have questions re Gabapentin and Buproprion for RLS
During my gabapentin taper, feelings of anxiety, sometime strong, was the only notable reaction that I recollect.

Re: Depression....again
Views, et al, Depression has not been one of the symptoms I have had to deal with in my life so far whether it be medication related or not. I'm not sure that I will ever be able to appreciate, though I try, the challenges depression sufferers face. I can, however, marvel at the strength and courage...

Re: I have questions re Gabapentin and Buproprion for RLS
I had been up to as much as 2400 mg per day or gabapentin. Am currently recyling with gabapentin at about at about 1200 mg per day along with some hydrocodone. When I first started out on gabapentin I, of course, stared out at a much lower dosage and worked by way up over the years. So, for me, I ob...

Re: Whew!! Prescription refilled
A little off topic here but…. Short story….. My primary, who has been treating my RLS successfully for about 9 years, recently sent me for a consultation with a new local neuro who among other things treats RLS. My primary made the referral with the the hopes of perhaps someone being able to do a be...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)
I'm still riding the wave, we have had a couple of vacations in the last month which has really helped my mood. Went back and visited our home town and we were driving by one of the houses I had lived in as a teenager. A guy a couple of houses down was doing yard work and he looked familiar and I b...

Re: Am I experiencing a Miracle??
Here's at least one article comparing modafinil and caffeine. I'm in the group for which caffeine is a total rls trigger.

Re: Stopping Tramadol, Starting Gabapentin,.
I am discussing with my doctor discontinuing Tramadol and starting Gabapentin instead. The Tramadol has worked well for seven years. However, in the last six months I have developed severe itching, which keeps me up at night. Also, and not a trivial concern, is the obstacles to obtaining Tramadol i...

Re: astronomy
E, Just saw this recently posted Ted Talk. It fits right in to what we were discussing and is fascinating. I like the term "citizen scientists" that the presenter uses. A bit "out there" but gosh do I enjoy that kind of stuff. m Wishing all who visit here some peace this night

Re: Whacha readin?
Views, You do a lot of serious reading/listening. You, mam, are a very smart person. Despite my interest in "real life," I have always gravitated toward fiction. I do like the idea of historical fiction but often left with trying to decipher how much to believe or not to believe…that is th...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)
It was another of my poor attempts at humor. To make matters worse I should have said 600 sq ft of memory…. But, sometime I just forget. I hope things are going well for you and thanks for bearing with me.
