Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have done the same thing with missing a pill. Or I have found it on the floor, and glad the dog didn't find it. But I am still wondering if you might be augmenting with the mirapex, since you have been having so much trouble. Glad you got a new computer. You may be right about the pramipexole (ge...

I also think that if I were "normal" and not taking all these meds (then I wouldn't be sick lol) I wouldn't have missed the lone methadone in the tray. I mean what can one do? I pour these pills out into my hand, they are in a shiny slippery plastic tray, they never don't come out, and the...

I'm an idiot. I took my morning pills late today because I didn't take them as I usually would when I go to work. When I did take them I noticed in my pill box that has the pills laid out for the entire week that a methadone was on the bottom of the tray from last night. In other words I didn't take...

I had a 1 hour sleep night last night. Went to bed around 11 pm and about midnight I had severe RLS, practically shot straight up out of bed. Took another Mirapex but it didn't help to sleep. I was able to sit though rather than pace all night which was a blessing. Don't know what I am going to do. ...

AND I THINK I HAVE IT WORST THEN ANYONE...AND I MEAN THAT..IF I DONT TAKE MY PILL I WELL NOT SLEEP..I MEAN NO SLEEP..U MIGHT THINK AFTER 2 OR 3 DAYS WITH OUT MY PILLS THAT I WOU...

I wish I could experience those advantages! I can't get anything useful done in my extra waking hours, I find I am too stupid! It's very frustrating. I didn't say it is perfect now, wish it were! I have had many stupid nights wandering aimlessly around the house too. All the places I have lived in ...

Someone already mentioned Claritin, I use a generic brand by Costco, Kirkland brand. Does not interfere with RLS and prevents my hay fever and allergies for many things like dogs (lol), cats, molds. I take it everyday. I stopped taking it for a couple of months because I wanted to make sure it was n...

One simple solution is that we purchased a 6 pack of Starbuck's double shot lite energy drinks, the small ones, that are only 70 calories a piece. If I could drink one or two of those a day it wouldn't be that bad and I could subtract some of the calories from my lunch to make up for the extra calor...

I even slept good last night! The only way to find out if the meds will help is to try them of course. Many of the meds we take for RLS mention that they can change your personality. Good thing my wife was looking out for me. She sat up with me most the night on the bad night. Now I will have to thi...

Eefall Haven't heard from you for a bit, are you getting some sleep? Here's hoping that bit you got started you on a pattern of being able to get some sleep. I had to stop Nuvigil, I almost did myself in because of it, changed my personality to sucicidal, either because of it specifically or the co...

I took, believe it or not, a 1/4 tab of Nuvigil at about 8 am this morning at work when I was about to fall asleep. Never did fall asleep after that the rest of the day. I hope I don't have problems tonight, last night I did and that was with only 1/8 Nuvigil but I thought it was worth giving it ano...

Hi - thanks for the replies. Actually, my doctor was going to gradually ease me off the Requip. I was still taking my Requip at the time I started the gamapentin, so I really think it was the gamapentin that caused my worsening symptoms. It was when I called and told him that the RLS syptoms were s...

Sorry. My wife came home last night and I was a little freaked out. I think it was just the constant lack of sleep for over a month. Even my 2 or 3 hours of sleep is not normal every night, probably converted to normal sleep it would be like getting between a 1/2 hour to an hour a night. Being up fo...

Now I am much better, I now experienced an earthquake. I have been through a 6.7 earthquake, and this one was so incredible because it wasn't real...don't confuse me with facts. Facts are the hallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...

I am hearing things. I hear music in the background but there is no music playing. Last night that happened but nothing like right now. It is getting fairly loud. Wow, I guess getting 3 hours of sleep a night and then going to nothing has about put me over the edge. My wife won't be home for a few h...
