Does methodone make RLS worse?

[Midnightmarathon]

Hi once again,

I had an long awaited appointment at Columbia hospital in NY because I was hoping to find a provider closer to where I live to replace going 300 miles to John Hopkins for my methodone and I wanted to find a doctor who would be willing to let me go off to it for intervals (John Hopkins just keeps pushing more and more at me and doesn't want me to stop it). When I told that doctor (Dr. Wu) that I wasn't comfortable with a bigger dose he lterally said to me "take it or leave it"!

at Columbia I saw a Dr Westwood. He told me that they don't prescribe opiates (so I spent a fortune going to NYC for nothing) and his staff wouldn't tell me this over the phone!!! . He claims that they actually worsen the RLS. Is this true?? OMG!

I'm in shock right now because the RLS Foundation touts JH as one of the "Quality" care centers. Dr. Wu told me methadone was a "cure". Now I'm told it made me worse?

Who do I believe and why are doctors from top centers in such disagreement?

Highly discouraged in NJ
