Muscle Spasms in Calves/Ankles

[AZKathy]

This started waking me up in the morning about 3 days ago.  Strange that it should happen so far into withdrawals, I'm now over 2 months.  Anyone else experience this or know of any relief from it?

The spasms are very painful, and occur when I'm just waking up - or they wake me up.  They usually last less than a minute, but during that time, it's like I can't move my lower legs at all - and it alternates from one leg to another.  

Any answers about this?

Thanks,
Kathy

good i am glad they stoped i up the bananas when I get them:)

[AZKathy]

no, didn't even bring it up with dr, because took more potassium, and ate more food like bananas, and leg spasms stopped, if they start up again will mention on next visit

kathy.
did they check your levels ?

[AZKathy]

wow, i thought for sure it was withdrawal related, am taking calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement, couldn't find any Hyland's Leg Cramps here

Doubt it is related to WD at all.  Hyland's Leg Cramps is awesome.  Completely stops them!

Kathy~  Yes,I agree with Avisg.  Call the doctor about this. Are you taking calcium and magnesium ??   Drink some tonic water mixed with juice. It may help. I doubt this is related to withdrawals.

Let us know...
