Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Tommy,

Thanks- I will do that. Interestingly enough this past November I had kidney stones...probably from doing a ketogenic diet. I wasn't able to have one analyzed so I am not certain whether they were oxalate stones or not but it has me thinking. I think I am going to give it a go.

notnowdad (or anyone else), I am fascinated by this approach. Have you been able to find any information about oxylates and dopamine? I did a pub med search and some general internet research and came up empty handed. I am wondering what the mechanism is for this. I am also curious as to how many pe...

I have no idea. I also have worse PLMS - and except for a few PLMW (periodic movements while waking), I am never aware of my movements - just that I am awake a lot at night. But, I do get RLS at night, too, so I am never sure why I am awake. or if I just need to pee. The fun of PLMS and RLS - NOT! ...

I realize that the vast majority of folks here have RLS/WED....I suffer from periodic limb movement disorder- my primary issue is I have lots of involuntary leg movements. So on to my question. Do those of you using Kratom- do you find that it helps to decrease involuntary movements associated with ...

So I saw my sleep doc and he lowered the dose of Horizant from 600 to 300. Last night it was better in terms of being less awake. Time will tell...plus I will be mixing in kratom when it arrives.

I try to avoid the sugar in juice. I am wondering if maybe I can mix it with some water and apple cider vinegar to get some acidity- I will try that.

Again- I appreciate the info!

I think that, for many, medications which often carry the side-effect of "sleepiness" do just the opposite. I think there is a name for it…paradoxical effect I think. Of couse there could be many other reasons but that is just one possibility. Wishing all who visit here some peace this ni...

Thanks so much for all of the great information. I ordered some. Do I have to have it with juice? Can I just make capsules out of it and take with water?

Thanks Holland!

Thanks. I should have been a bit more specific in what i did. I got off the dilautid for a week or so. I was just using mirapex. I then added in the Horizant and noticed insomnia. I have also read that side effects with Horizant often subside after a couple of weeks. I am going to try it with the di...

Awesome thanks for the info! One other question- is it ok to use kratom with mirapex, horizant and/or an oral opiate?

Hi, I just found this forum- wow it's really a great source of info- I had no idea that kratom could help with this issue. I am wondering where folks source kratom? Ideally I would like to get organic kratom. Can someone point me to a thread or resource that talks about how to start dosing it? Thank...

Hi, I just found this group. I have severe PLMD and have been taking .375 of Mirapex for the past 7 years. Over the past year it hasn't been working very well. I had a kidney stone and was given dilautid and this helped my sleep- I took it for a few months- it was helpful at first and then stopped h...
