I know there is a huge list of medications we should avoid since we have RLS, but I haven't found any reference to the anti-virals like Tamaflu. In asking the Dr. today, he said it should be fine (meaning no interactions with other meds.), but I don't know if he was really listening, and I didn't ask correctly (ha!). I should have asked if it would exacerbate the RLS.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone had experience with the anti-virals AND has anyone found a cough medicine that doesn't seem to cause a big problem?
Any cough syrup that has Dextromethorphan as the single and only ingredient should be OK. Vicks makes such a syrup, and Robitussin also sells DXM gelcaps if you can actually find them in a store.
