Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I know how you feel about wanting to cut them off, but the stubs would still be jerking, I had surgery on my foot and arm recently couldn't walk on my foot for a month or use my arm so I was very thankful to have them both after that Good luck this is a miserable problem!

Hi: I've been suffering from RLS, PLMD, Fibro, Migraines, etc. Drs. try to give me medications, but the antidepressants like Celexa, etc. make my legs worse. I'm On Mirapex, Horizant, Relpax, Topamax, Wellbutrin, Dr. Mentioned Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia and depression but it may make my legs worse. I...

I work at a Vascular clinic where patients have varicose veins, the Drs. tell the patients not to wear their compression stockings to bed, I 'm not sure why, maybe it affects the blood flow when lying down, I have some, I will ask about it.

I have been on Mirapex for aprox. 10 yrs I have been Augmenting for a while I've tried to stop Mirapex a couple times with no success. I really want to, and now WED is spreading to arms and starting in the AM. I have been getting Oxycodone 10 from a pain Dr., for Fibromyalgia, neck surgery, recent e...

I have had overactive bladder for years, I have been on Mirapex for 10 yrs and have been Augmenting for a while. Recently it's spreading to my arms and starting in the morning. I have tried to stop Mirapex a couple times, I still want to very badly! I take .50 mg I have dropped it down from .75. I d...

I've been off and on Hormones but it's hard to say if it's worse on my RLS, or if Im Augmenting on Mirapex but I think Hormones help my migraines so I started back on them. I found out a couple mths ago that developed an Ovarian cyst and I wonder if it's from the hormones.

I was on it for a couple mth didn't notice much difference in RLS, but I was taking Mirapex. I stopped hormones because I didn't know if it was causing wt gain and I developed an ovarian cyst, my Gyn said it may not be because of hormones that Menopause causes wt gain.

Wellbutrin and Trazodone dont aggravate RLS I used to take them.

yes Oxycodone makes me itch and I only take 10 mg prn. My eyes itch all the time though and I have dust and mold allergies year round.

True! I stay depressed with or without the Gabapentin because of the RLS but I do feel worse when I take Gabapentin. I just recently started back on it and I noticed Im more tired and feel hopeless.

I take Gabapentin, I have been on it several times and I also felt more depressed and tired. Gabapentin is a mood stabalizer and side effects do say you can become depressed. I am trying to take it to slack off the Mirapex but it takes a large dose to help my legs. I usually end up stopping it.

I have Neuropathy in my feet and legs feet go numb and burn and ache I was prescribed Gabapentin.

I was given Horizant by my pain Dr. I don't think it works very well for me, it makes me pretty drowsy I am supposed to take 300 mg twice a day for pain. The dose for RLS is 600 in the evening. I also have Gabapentin which I took in the past but I had to take up to 1200 mg for it to work. Gabapentin...

I used to work @ Psych office we had a Dr. who prescribed Suboxone for Opiate withdrawal. It's funny how Suboxone and Methadone work in our brains to relieve RLS. I asked my pain Dr. a couple yrs ago if he could add Suboxone to my Oxycodone, and he said I don't think that would be a good idea. Now i...

I have both, the PLMD is the worst, the only thing that helps is the Mirapex unfortunately. I have been really desperate and frustrated lately. I dont think I can stop it with having to go to work! and I'm augmenting its in my arms sometimes. Very depressing!! sometimes I dont want to go on, but may...
