I just saw leg cramps the hylands is for restless leg. Bananas have potassium. apple juice and also tonic water would be helpful for cramping.

Hi Mare You can pick up a product and walmart called hylands restful leg it work well. also hot baths/showers.. walking, exercise is also good although you may have to force yourself.. walking/exercise also helps with the anxiety. Everybody is different and not everybody is taking the same meds nor the same amount so do not let others wd scare you ok. Keep a positive attitude that you can do this. keep reading and reach out for support. lesa

i agree with gnarley, i tried to taper a couple of times, i think it just prolongs things, i would go cold turkey, there is a lot of things to help through the withdrawals,it is hard but done a lot quicker,  then you need to work on staying off.   i felt shaky, restless legs , stomache cramps and sleeplessness, lasted 3/7 days, hot baths , immodium, plenty of fluids helped. there are a lot of posts on this site that will help you , read the health pages, i really wish you well, best wishes,  sudie

HI its not so much the dose is it is the length of time you have been on it you can have withdrawals form 2 pills a day....from 3 pills I would just jump off your withdrawals shouldn't be to bad probably some restlessness mabe a hard time sleeping but take some time to read the post so you know what to expect....always prepare for the storm but thank God it only rained
theres no way of knowing till you pull the plug and do it good luck and God bless....Gnarly

I'd just try to taper off that. You'll still have some wds but I don't think they'll be excruciating but everyones different from what I've read lately. Taper if ya can you'll feel uncomfortable but should be able to function.
