It is so great when you get relief. I hope you find something that works for more than a day....and soon.

Runkrun....doesn't the combination of Lyrica and Oxycodone make you really drowsy? Does that combination really take care of your daytime symptoms? How much Oxy do you take? Just curious because I would like to consult my doc with this. I do see improvement with the Lyrica, which tells me that there is hope here. But it needs to be tweaked more. Thanks for the info!!

Sarahjj, I did'nt begin on the Oxycodone over night. I started w/ Norco 7.5/325 mg (1 or 2 ) every 4-6 hrs. When I went to Mayo to see Dr. Silber, he did'nt like the amount of Tylenol I was consuming so mg for mg switched me to Oxy. So you may want to start w/ the Norco. My RLS escalated over the past 4 yrs., therefore the need to increase the opiates. The Lyrica and opiates have been a great combo for me. I actually don't take my Lyrica during the day, it makes me too sleepy. I take 2 Lyricas at about 7 pm along w/ my Xanax and Oxy. This allows me to lie on the couch to watch T.V and sleep. If I have a really rough RLS morning, then I take the additional Lyrica. Good Luck on your doctors appt. Please keep me updated.
