Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

FYI: side effect Either this med. is causing Reflux and I am being woken up not able to catch my breath or the med. itself is having a side effect that is causing my heart to race and I cannot catch my breath for a few seconds. Either way, it scared me and I couldn't quite wake up completely...I fe...

Ur welcome

No, it's not the slow release.....as I would try the rx if given it to see if I could tolerate it. If you do try the prescription strength plz post back. Thanks.

P.S.

haha, that totally cracked me up! I hear ya!

Yeah, I bought my melatonin from Wal-mart. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=w ... S8_50DXvYQ

Isn't that Rozerem like 8x's more potent than the otc melatonin? or did I read that wrong?

I am willing to try anything as long as it passes thru quick enough.

That is awesome P.S. I took another Phenergan the other night without my 3 doses of Requip; just the one nighttime dose and I walked all night long. I was so hopeful to find something that worked. I know I cannot take Benadryl, phenergan, melatonin and now the ambien does not work. I am going to ask...

Last night I think I had reflux from this med. I woke up at midnight and couldn't swallow or take a breath. After a few scary seconds it eased up. I slept the rest of the night with my head up on pillows. I have a sick tummy this morning 2 hrs. after my morning dose. Question: Has anyone taken this ...

yes

Oh my goodness, now I just posted a question about Fibro and stuff that may be to blame. Thanks for this post! Update: Inflammation must not be my problem....I have gotten it under control with prednisone, blood test to monitor esr/crp; low carb- no caffiene and I am still having same level of RLS (...

My Physiatrist just gave me the starter pack for Savella; however my titrations will be lower. m I received two TrPs injections today. I am going to start the pack after the Wellbutrin is out of my system...I haven't taken it a whole month yet; my pain is still real (Fibro) and the RLS is still just...

I clicked on some of the links under ppl name in the posts and they take you to all kinds of places. Also, there are some links on the main page; I think some of the top posts. Good Reads

Today I ran on the treadmill and a few minutes later the tingling, itchiness was back in my left side of back and bottom of my foot. My brother takes Tramadol and Requip, I will mention to my doctor about the sleepiness and see if I could try it as well. Yes, I do still want to take the Requip at ni...

I have received a response from Dr B and will paraphrase his reply. Circadin 2mg is not available in the USA but Rozerem is available which acts at least 8 times more potently on the melatonin receptors. Is this also OTC? I would be willing to try this as well; like he said...if it's not good for t...

Are you using the ramp feature? this is a common problem that results in continuous arousal. If you have OSA you may find adding a humidifier to your machine beneficial. With CSA the addition of O2 may be all you need. Definitely get your results and even take them to a company that rents out the ma...

Requip makes me tired and dizzy. I am having to take the Requip up to 3x's/day.
Can you advise on which med. I should request my doctor to try me on during the day? I am satisfied with the Requip at bedtime. Thanks in advance
