Re: ER opiates (oxy) vs methadone
I can't take Oxycodone for any length of time. I took methadone for about 9 years. 10 to 15 mg divided into two doses. I no longer take it because I can't get it in NM. It worked fairly well. Divided does was to prevent insomnia. I now take buprenorphine. In some ways I think it's better. I get 2 mg...

Re: Doses for Buprenorphine
I tried taking an extra 1/8th in the morning. But my RLS has been increasing, so I was still having trouble. Today the RLS hit me at 4:45pm, which is rare. I didn't take the 1/8th this morning because it wasn't helping, or it seemed. I took another 1/4th, so now I'm awake. Also with the increase ton...

Re: BEST MATTRESS FOR RLS
Funny, I bought a new mattress today. I disliked the Nector memory foam one OlI bought a few years ago, a full size, too hot for me. Other memory foam ones, I find hard to move around I bought a Natural two sided Laytex. I can't afford the expensive ones. I'm going back to a twin, but this time a XL...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)
Yes, it's working. Though some nights I have trouble sleeping even though I'm not having any RLS. Then there are other nights where I sleep 9 hours. It's very inconsistent.

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)
As it turned out, taking a second dose after 2:30 pm caused insomnia.
Today I decided to just add it to my 2:30 dose. I take such a small amount that I think it will work. If I add anymore, I think the morning will be best. I'm still under 2mg.

Doses for Buprenorphine
I need help with deciding when to take the buprenorphine film. Currently I take .5 mg at 2:30pm to prevent insomnia. I need to increase it to 1 mg, dividing the dose into two times. My injections are no longer working. The RLS is increasing. I'm now having RLS one to three times a night, so I'm slee...

Re: Riding the Big One (RLS 24/7, Hanging Ten)
I am so fortunate that my Suboxone is still working after all of these years. I take the sublingual 4mg but I split it up into 4 rectangles and put them in two contact lenses plastic boxes. So each one is in an airtight container. I take them at 8:30 am, 12 noon, 6 pm and 7:40 pm when I remember to...

Re: Spinal Cord & DRG Stimulator Trial
I have had a spinal stimulator for 2 years. I think it helps. After it's put in, you will have movement restrictions for 2 months, until the areas heal. Good luck Debbie, Thank you for your response, it is nice to know that this is helpful and to hear from someone who has it. Are you still on any m...
