The Thomas recipe can help with the restless leg. I had to tough it out for a while, but I found comfort in NA meetings with people who knew exactly what I was going through. It helped a LOT! Have you checked out AA or NA?

Thanks i appreciate it I haven't had a Perc or anything in a while I just want the RLS to be gone and the everything else..I just want to be my self again. I hate moving cuz it hurts all the time I think I might go get Flexiril muscle relaxant just to help at night with sleeping to keep my muscles calm not to abuse it God no
I am 29 and too young to be going through this I was told that once everything goes back to normal I will be fine is this true I will be back to normal

Oh my God, do NOT take 30 immodium a day!! Not only can you do serious damage to your intestines, but that is another addiction all it's own. Some folks can get a similar opiate high, and that's why they take so many. The ONLY way to get through this is to just get through it. It takes patience and a lot of discomfort. Any "magic" way of rushing the wds is BS. The folks that have long term sobriety do this: deal w/ the withdrawls (Thomas recipe can help), and then immediately get in aftercare. Once we remove the drugs, then we are just addicts w/o drugs. We need help for our brains. Using is just the symptom, it isn't the problem. The folks on here who've been successful in maintaining their sobriety are heavily involved in aftercare. Meetings, AA or NA sometimes combined w/ addiction counseling or outpatient therapy. For myself, meetings have done it. Hang in there and keep checking back w/ us!
