Welcome today to

justkate, who cannot remember what taking an afternoon nap feels like. She has tried many different medications hoping one of them do the trick....so far no luck.

Take a look around to see if you can find anything that helps. If not, please post a note about yourself and asking any questions (or feel free to vent) that you would like.

Welcome today to

LisaH, who has had severe rls for over 20 years, is having a terrible time with augmentation and would like to here what other people are doing.

LisaH, you will find quite a bit of discussion about handling augmentation, especially in the Prescription Meds forum. If you don't find exactly what you need, please post a note with a description of your issues and whatever you would like to ask.

Carolyna, who has had WED for about 15 years. She is currently 2100 mg. gabapentin and 1 mg. clonazepam. Due tobulging/herniated discs and arthritis, she has been prescribed 5 mg hydrocodone 3/day and wants to ask a question about this med.

So Carolyna, ask away!

Welcome to

2BassetMom, whose RLS interrupts sleep every night. She tried one medication that worked for 1 week.

Take a look around and see if you can find any information that is useful. Also, please post a note letting us know what it was that only worked for one week and whether you need suggestions about where to go from here.

Welcome to wdm, likely our last member for March. wdm has had WED for a long time, has tried many things, and is looking for suggestions.

You can either start a post and tell us what you've tried - pharmacological or other - or read through posts and see what people recommend. A great place to start is the link in my signature below.
