Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

So I had the same 6 different episodes of rls last night No same depression, just utter exhaustion I'm hoping the surge in rls is stress related or something short term With that said I'll need to make an increase in meds somewhere. Gotta start getting more sleep very soon because my problems are co...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

So things have gotten pretty dire . I suppose I can still up lyrica from current 50mg .... I think it's the horrible lack of sleep as opposed to the lyrica , but I can feel extremely depressed Codeine remains at 30mg x 2 For a 1030pm bedtime I have been doing : 0.75mg clonazepam 8pm 3 draws high THC...

Re: Cannabis

If you've gone only 2-3 years without a regular sleep / wake schedule, I would think it could be reversed . Mine began as delayed sleep phase around 1990, but became a non24 around 1998 If it wasnt for my rls, I believe I could fix it . I was never as motivated as I am now, living with 2 children wh...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

Anyhow ... So moving on, I found my symptoms were less severe when I took clonazepam 2-3 hours earlier (as in first, and before all other meds) This also led to me being less anxious about my bedtime routine (imagine that lol) My symptoms were especially less severe for the last couple awakenings (I...

Re: Cannabis

Beth a medical vaporizer would be the most effective and definitely the quickest way to ingest your cannabis . With regard to safety however , I cannot speak to the effect it would have on your asthma. I do know that oils can be so unreliable . One day you get the full effect in 30 minutes and it la...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

I appreciate the lengthy replies and information. I would rather not share specific names of doctors in a negative light . If we could strike from the record those names associated with negative reviews, that would be appreciated. I have Kratom but am hesitant to add it to the mix ... Out of curiosi...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

So ... I relax and rest just fine .... No RLS It's when I decide I'm going to actually sleep that I have the onset The moment I begin to drift off ... bam ! And then I have it essentially the entire night (which becomes morning and all day ... I just got out of bed at 5pm ) For the last 6 months per...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

This is a possibility I suppose 3-5 years in is a good place to get them What is now important is to figure out why I'm symptom free during the day and evening, but once I'm just about to fall asleep, a random leg or arm starts going bananas ..... and then it's a party in a new body part all over ag...

Re: 1st post after 24 years of RLS

So I thought I'd finally update this post Been busy (or overwhelmed) with kids and the whole Covid 19 thing . ... My RLS did not go away but did improve , and side effects of codeine were somewhat managed , (at times it was in fact very terrible) Mirapex just isnt working out. I'm pretty sure I knew...

Re: Cannabis

I agree with all of what Qyx said The Mighty is IMO the best vaporizer (it is the only unit that actually has it's own drug information number) The Crafty is the smaller and sleeker version , but wont work while charging and it has a wire inside that cant stand long term heat (design flaw) Vaporizer...

Re: RLS meds making me sick after weight loss surgery

I'm sorry I wasnt more helpful I only told you what you cant do and didn't suggest options . To be honest and clear, I'm certainly not a doctor . I could suggest you try a low dose opiate in place of your dopamine agonist , but I shouldn't be the one to direct you . I hope you can find some relief s...

Re: RLS meds making me sick after weight loss surgery

Unless you've had a lengthy break between requip and mirapex, your augmentation will merely continue. You shouldnt really ever go back to a Dopamine agonist after augmentation unless all other options have been exhausted Mirapex may, for some unknown reason to me, may help very temporarily with naus...
