Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Didn't come to that. I started with 2mg a day and that was fine. After 4 weeks I went up to 10mg a day and turned into a walking zombie. Couldn't stay awake during the day and was so tired that simple walking felt like moving in deep water. Needless to say I stopped the medication.

It's not mentioned in Buchfuhrers book... Haven't taken it yet, but I would use a very low dosis anyway. (And a bit of sedative effect would come in handy as the oxycodone causes insomnia.)

My neuro prescribed Amitriptyline for my headaches. (I'm also getting a MRT.) He recommended to start with a very small dose because I experienced severe side effects in the past from several other drugs including SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants, so we'll go with 1mg per day for a couple of week...

You say you eat a lot of pizza what type of sauce do you put on it because I thought with low oxalate we could not use typical pizza sauce.

Tomatos have around 10-15mg oxalates per 100g. The flour is the problem, not the sauce.

I bake myself a small loaf of bread every three days and also enjoy a lot of pizza. My oxalate table has wheat flour at around 60mg per 100g flour. The only flour that is low in oxalates is corn flour. Rice flour is around 20-30 mg. Buckwheat is extremely high at 260mg. And you won't be satiated wi...

Be careful how you start your Tramadol holiday. Tramadol is both a mild opioid and an SNRI Anti-depressant. Abruptly stopping the opioid isn't too bad, [...] My neuro would disagree :) He says he had patients stop opiods (for whatever reason), or temporarily go to a higher dose (for example they go...

I wonder if anyone has any experience that they could share? Looks like it is worth taking a closer look. I take about 3-4 grams (3 large 000 capsules) of potassium citrate every day in the evening, to prevent cramping. Have done so for the last 3-4 years. (And if I discontinue it for more than a c...

I believe over exposure to fluoride damages the lining of the small intestine and contributes to bile salts inappropriately entering the colon. Ingesting the common refined, bleached and deodorized cooking oils made from seeds (corn, canola, soy, etc.) exacerbates the problem of bile salts inapprop...

I started to ask the very first question above and figured that the poster had no idea why the doc said that. I REALLY want to know if there are any studies...I surely haven't seen any! I bet a lot of it is just personal experience. Which shouldn't be discarded lightly. Even though I fully agree th...

Once the subject turns to fluoride, it starts to become tin foil hat territory. What about 5G as well? We have known for decades, don't we? :) https://youtu.be/J67wKhddWu4 But seriously, what is this? Trying to end the thread by drawing the conspiracy theory card? There are peer reviewed studies li...

This sound like a placebo effect. Excitement over new possible treatment > s/t increases endorphin and dopamine > it works! > s/t increase in b endorphin & dopamine > initial excitement dissipate > endorphin & dopamine returns to mean > stops working Please tell me your crystal ball supplier, I als...

It has been two weeks and I feel so stable. [...] Has anyone else experienced methylation supplementation and a reduction in RLS symptoms? So, do you not have RLS anymore? Your original post indicated you were taking melatonin and magnesium to treat your RLS, both of which aren’t very useful for RL...

In any case I don't think our ancestors were exposed to fluoride in any way, while they did get a decent amount of iodine (more than we do nowadays, mostly via fish consumption I believe). "Foods with fluoride include: [...] I was referring to hunters and gatherers. They wouldn't have had access to...

The only thing I know about fluoride is that it suppresses thyroid function and iodine uptake (see for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6466022/). RLS is linked to hypothyroidism (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2022.974229/full). It's not much evidence, but an...

Unfortunately, it seems like I’m building some sort of tolerance to methadone. I’m very very concerned. I was on 5 mg in June, then jumped to 10 at the beginning of November. Now it seems like 10 isn’t cutting it. Has anyone had any experience like this? Im freaking out rn, very scared that I’ll ne...
