awesome! Nine hours of sleep is super good!! Keep your head up okay!
This is so more difficult I have to keep taking breaks this is ridiculous. I can't even clean my house like a normal person
I just wanna be me again who ever the he'll that is. This energy thing *****!!!!!
Yay! I am so glad you got 9 hours of sleep!!! Wow! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your dinner out! You deserve it!
Morning seven I took more of the hylands took a melatonin went to bed and slept nine hours. Ty all so much today I am going to tackle this house and take my husband to supper for his birthday.
HI hope you have a better nigght most of the otc sleep aids have benadrill in them for some it ok for a lot of others it makes things a lot worst my advise is stay away from antihistamines for sleep and go with natural stuff like valarian root or melatonin if you use the melatonin tery about 6mg and the room has to be completely dark no night light even I also found the sleepytime tea they sell at walmart to be very effective just one cup 1/2 hr b/4 bed all of this will be in vein until your initial acute withdrawal is over with 6 days in you should try the natural stuff it should start to help keep in mind sleep is one of the last things to retun good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
Yeah we should really be getting the word out about the antihistamine OTC's... benadryl, tylenolPM, SimplySleep, Nytol, and the generics. I learned the hard way on a 10hr flight home.... They work when you're clean... but do the devil's work when you're WD'ing and it's very misleading because we all want to sleep during WD.
Speaking of the devil...you're right Irishann, Ultram (tramadol) is the devil in disguise. Good call on using the word "hell" to the doctor hehe
Are you freaking kidding me aaboutOTC sleep meds? Well holy s@@t...I've been taking that crap this whole time and last night I slept...ummm....NONE! And today I bought ibuprofen PM...WTF! This is some good info! My doc today asked if I had heard of tramadol (to help my wds) and I said" uhhh..hell no!" He laughed because he says most doctors say its not addicting, and he said" if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck..." so I inquired about the colodine (sp)..he asked where I heard about that, and I told him about reading posts...he said" oh my god! I love the internet!" So thanks everyone for your advice!
It will be okay. Take some more Hylands and take a vitamin with a big glass of juice. Try another bath,too! It's not a cure all but will keep giving you relief until the stupid RLS goes away! Do you have Melatonin? You can take 3 of those. ZZZZZ...
Ok now I am aggravated two hours ago I was smiling feeling on top of the world. This damn rls is kicking my *** n it just ugh makes me wanna cave in but I know I won't. So irritated!!! Why did I do this to myself I guess I deserve this pain

Yay!!! Im so glad that the Hylands worked for you! Im on day 8, and am feeling so much better! Hang in there !there is a light at the end of the tunnel and its soooo worth it! Sending positive energy your way! :)
Meant so. I hate this touch screen
Oh n I wanted to tell u too I thought was kinda funny after the bath. I called for my husband to come to the bedroom and I was smiling so big. He looks at me n is like what did u take I said nothing but hylands and I did a lily leg dance and said my legs they feel so btr. He said that'd good but looked at me kinda crazy. He just doesn't realize the pain with rls n again Ty spool much
Vicki your an angel I took the hylands about a hour ago along with a hot bath. And am amazed how much better my legs feel. I could give u the biggest hug right now!!!I feel so relaxed I think tonight is going to be a great night n Ty deva
The antihistamine in all those PM otc med and benadryl have always caused me RLS. Just dosnt work for me either! Have you tried melatonin or valerian for sleeping? Its suppose to work wonders for some. Hope you sleep well and your legs stay still :)
My friend is in town and is going to get me some hylands. Oh how I hope it works
Its going to a friends community pool n ok just the rls bothering me and blah feeling. And I have been drinking lots of fluids taking a potassium pill and multi
Yes...anything with Benadryl in it can make the RLS much worse. It's an easy fix. First, drink!! A lot! Drink Tonic Water or buy some Hylands Restful legs at Walgreens. You need potassium as well so orange/apple juice. Are you taking vitamins? Take a good multi vitamin with magnesium in it. You'll feel better!
Good luck!
Hey!! Found your thread! :) I think that swimming might actually help you a little. Is it like swimming at your house? Or going somewhere else and packing everything up and stuff? How are you feeling so far today?? :)
Hey ... I did a long run ... 30 years ... (don't pay any attention to my profile ... I hit the wrong year and am too lazy to change it ... and I figure who cares anyway ...) ... right on about the Advil PM ... don't take any drugs ... let your body get clean ... six ... seven days ... I'm sorry to say there is no short cut (when I came here a year ago I read about people taking "subs" and they said it helped with WD's ... well ... duh ... why not take heroin .. that will help also ... just look within that is where your strength lies ... if you are serious and if you are ready ... NOTHING will dissuade you from getting clean ... take it from a guy who did 30 years of heroin and Methadone and then one day woke up and said I'm going to get clean ... if I knew the hell I was letting myself into I'd probably still be going to the goddamn clinic ... but when you come out the other side and all the bullsh*t is behind you man-o-man ... !!!
And the rls when does that go away
