Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hey all, It's been a week now since I went to foot/ankle doctor and 2 1/2 weeks since primary doctor started me on Neurontin and Librium. So here is the update. The foot/ankle doctor did confirm that I have RLS, he said that he has seen it just bother the ankles before and he confirmed that I don't ...

Hi and I am so glad that you have found this group of people. I have only been here for about 2 months and the information and encouragment you get are very helpful. First of all I too am very sorry you are experiencing such a bad time after going off Requip, I know from experience that it is a very...

Hi Everybody, Thanks for the links to info. and all the information. I take the drugs for sleep because the feelings in my ankles are so bad that I can't sit or lay down for long. It doesn't matter how tired I get the feelings and urge to get on my feet wins out in my mind over how tired I am. I fin...

Thanks to everybody for the comments,suggestions ect. This is one long hard journey I never thought I would have to take. And what a journey it has been so far. I never did get to sleep last night, I'm amazed at the fact that I can continue to go without sleep and keep functioning. It is now 12:15am...

Update on Vistaril--Don't take it!!! At least I shouldn't have taken it. It is now 1:40 am and I haven't been to sleep yet, I have tried everything I know to try at this point to get some sleep. My ankels are going wild even though I really am tired, I think the Neurontin is making me sleepy, not su...

Hey all, here I am again. I feel like a crying, whinning child at times about this disorder, but just when I think I have the solution and I start to feel better it all goes back to square one. As I have said in the past I tried the Requip,Mirapex,Requip XL they don't work long for me. I thought goi...

Update on the Requip XL. I called my neurologist after my 1st night on this drug, his reply continue at the 4mg dose and give it a chance. I didn't. I cut back to the 2mg dose, took it earlier in the evening since someplace I read that it should be taken in the am not pm. I have been able to sleep f...

hey all, has anybody been put on the requip xl? If so wonder how it's going. My dr. started me on it about 2 weeks ago at 2mg at night. Helped for a couple nights, then nothing. This week he had me up it to 4mg at night. Last night was the first night and what a night I had. I felt like I had taken ...

mine is pressure that is there all the time, just worse when sit or lay, like i said started about 2 years ago. First dr started me on the requip, good for about 7 mo. then went to mirapex again good for about 7-8mo. then stopped working also, the feeling was never like it has been for the last coup...

Hi there, I also have the feelings in my ankles sounds like same place as you describe, but it is a pressure feeling. I don't have any other uncomfortable feelings like most others with RLS. But the pressure is awful. Still not sure if I agree with doctors that it is RLS, I have other RLS symptoms l...

I just had a colonoscopy on the 19th, the prep didn't make me sick, it wasn't fun but didn't get sick. My RLS was awfull that night, didn't sleep at all and nothing helped to give any kind of relief for any amount of time. The good thing about it was that I actually slept on and off the rest of that...

Hi, I took Flexeril 10mg for about 1 week, didn't help at all, the RLS won. So far I haven't found anything that helps except exhaustion.
Good Luck I hope it works better for you.

Hoping somebody can help me, the dr's don't seem to help nor do the drugs. I have been treated for the last 2 years for RLS. The problem is I don't have the normal effects that most people seem to have. I don't have the creepy crawly feelings on my legs. What I do feel is pressure inside my ankles. ...
