I took half a bar lastnight because day 3to eith no sleep and i was loosing my damn mind. I did sleep well like 8you hours, was wonderful. Tonight back at it. Its 330am here and my RLS is in full effect. Anyone have any idea how long the rls lasts?
The only thing That Is going to help you sleep is Xanax or a strong sleep aid. Otherwise it may be a few days I went 9 days straight with no sleep coming off heroin and Xanax. Be careful with benzos as they are very addicting and u pick up wds so fast its scary. A few days is ok but no longer and yes it's safe as long as your not still taking your sub. They can't be used together as you prob already know. Take care
On day nine now. Baths with salts plus what eveyone else said above. After day 5 of taking what seemed like an endless supply of supplements I found that 3 valerian root pills was all I needed. Think u need to try different approaches and see what works best. Eveyones body reacts differently. Good luck to u.
Hey by the way,,Great Job on getting off the opiates and now deciding to get clean from the subs!!~Bkitty
Hi there,,Im sure you have read about this from the forum. Have you tried any over the counter remedies for RLS like magnesium and potassium? Honestly,,I didnt think it would really work but it did. I was shocked. Do you have a physician that maybe could prescribe something to help ease some of the withdrawal symptoms,,like neurontin or clonidine?? If not,,try bananas and those supplements. I know it really s*cks. Also warm baths and sometimes wrapping your legs with like an ace bandage can help too. I hope you feel better soon. Id stay away from the benzo's if you can. They may work but not for long and xanax is one of the most addictive medications there is. Hang in there!~Bkitty
I tried all the homeopathic remedies and nothing worked for me. I finally went to my doctor and she gave me a script (non addictive) that helps. You could try epsom salt hot baths, walk every day for an hour, hylands restless legs OTC. I understand RLS s u c k s!
Sorry for the typos im on my new cell. Touchscreens are crazy!
