Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

To play devils advocate, there are always these infomercials on TV you see for stuff like "colon cleansing" and "cures the drug companies don't want you to know about!" and on and on and on. It's not always safe to assume because something has a commercial, an support group, etc. That it will be fre...

I have to admit I was less than kind to her in my Myspace blog, but it felt so good

I'm not a parent, and I have no plans of being one, but I can still relate to your problems. I was taken out of the public school system in the middle of the 5th grade, and put into some state funded crap for "special kids with special needs", told I had emotional problems (which oddly enough never ...

V is for victory; and also Vicodin (heh guess what I got today)

My doctor had a good laugh when I suggested being gay was a made up disease, heh.. Oh well, I already gave them a piece of my mind as well

edit: wow the three letter term for homosexuality (not the F one) is censored?

This reeks of comedic opportunity. But I've kind of learned to tune her out, I don't know why she has survived as long as she has in show business.

I'm sure she'll get what's coming to her though

I agree, the best thing to do is to tell your employer and give them information on RLS, as for being late, you don't need to tell them what you are taking, only that it's a side effect of your treatment. Even if they pressure you it's -none- of their business what you take, unless it is a contract ...

Any trial lawyer worth his weight in BS would easily find a loophole and plead their client was mislead, tricked or coerced into signing it, not understanding the repercussions. .. And they'd win I'm going through my own tiff with my doctor now too. I really ramped up my consumption after having an ...

Take it from me, the high is quite real. Under normal circumstances you'd develop a tolerance to it and eventually not feel it, yes.. But if you were to continue to escalate the dosage of a drug, you would definitely feel the euphoric effects. My experience was hydrocodone would knock me out at firs...

My understanding of methadone was that it blocked the effects that make a person "high".. It could be that since the methadone itself is probably a potent painkiller, you are simply not noticing effects of lower strength narcotics because of "tolerance" or something along those lines. But I don't kn...

Those are some good suggestions, I never really thought about it like that.. But usually I just tell people I have a sleep / neurological disorder, and they leave me alone

If you are still having problems with nausea and the doctor knows you've tried it with food and milk, etc.. I would really push hard to try another medication.

Yes, stay away from the PM and anything containing diphenhydramine. It will drive you insane.. If you can't see a doctor, you might try a small glass of wine just before bed time. Depending on how often you drink you can usually get away with just a few ounces, it may or may not help though. One of ...

It has been my experience that when stopping an anti-depressant, the symptoms will drop back down to "normal" levels. I was actually on Remeron for quite a while and then I became suspicious about it aggravating my RLS, which it hadn't seemed to before.. But after a stretch of a few days without my ...

Well if people gave up after the first try, I'm pretty sure democracy wouldn't exist as a form of government. All that really needs to be done is develop a system that helps those who need it. I got free psychiatric help from the county I live in when I needed it, that money comes from tax payers to...
