Moving to Prescott, AZ - Need a Good RLS Doctor and Methadone

Post by frickets »

Hi! I currently live in Virginia. I've had RLS for 20+ years. My former doctor led me into augmentation a couple years ago. Fortunately I found someone who helped me work though it and find a viable treatment. Methadone was the eventual solution for me. Since starting this protocol my RLS symptoms have been largely manageable and I'm sleeping well most of the time. Now I'm in the process of moving to Prescott, AZ. I'm worried about finding a doctor there - someone who's good with RLS and ok with continuing to prescribe Methadone. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA

You might try contacting the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. Or try the neurology department at the Univ of Arizona, which is also in Phoenix. Granted those are not in Prescott, but many of us have to drive to find a good RLS doctor.
