Can't sleep AGAIN!

[Laroo]

I'm between day 4 / 5 shouldn't this wrestless leg thing be going AWAY!!!  I've taken 1 valium, and a 1/2 of an ambian PLUS I ate 2 full meals today.  What the h**l am I doing wide awake?  Zanex are addictive where as valium aren't - right?  I don't know...

[Laroo]

[Laroo]

Ok - U guys have cheered me up - thank you.  I'm really heading for the crest & epson then top it off with the heating pad.  Yea, wild night here!!!  Peace

Laughing here.... If I were a mugger I surely would not mess with anyone detoxing....

[allaboutmary]

LMAO   No please don't go out and get mugged. lolol   Beating up muggers could be good therapy though. lol

[Laroo]

Hey M,  I'll have to wait on that walk since I live in the Hollywood.  I'm trying to get better now mugged.  Although if someone came up to mug me with all the energy I have I'd have a good chance!  ESPECIALLY SINCE I'm IRRITATED - your right maybe I should go for a walk!  ha :-)  Kidding, I'm going back to the tub after I brush my teeth & get this bananas taste out of my mouth. yuck

YUP - I put the epson salt in the bath.  Haven't done the magnesium & SINCE I'm UP I'll head over to "goingtomakeit" 's page......Thanks "AGAIN" :)

[allaboutmary]

The best thing I know of for anxiety and RLS.  Is a brisk walk for a half hour. I found it to be a miracle cure for anxiety.  Hang on it will ease up soon.   Mary

If you can, look at "goingtomakeit" 's profile. I do believe there is information that he posted on supplements. He is the one to speak to about potassium, magnesium, etc.

He also recommends that you use epsom salt in a hot bath...it is sure worth a try.

I really don;t have much experience with Lunesta or Ambien. Some say that it makes the rls worse.

I only took Ambien once, a while ago and I found that it did not help me much and also made me do strange things in the middle of the night, so that was it for me. I use Advil pm and it works great.

I am so sorry you can't get any rest.

[Laroo]

So glad I read this first.....I was 2 seconds away from taking a Xani bar.  Have bananas - yuck but, i'll do it.  I ate a 1/2 of one today already.  Now the valium being addictive I didn't know....I thought that & ambian were ok?  Do U know about this lunesta stuff?  Does that seem to work?

Good Morning..or maybe not for you. I just got up.

I am sorry you are still uncomfortable hun. It should only be another day for the rls to stop. I always recommend hot baths and a heating pad on your calves. If you are not taking supplements, then eat bananas. It is the potassium, or lack of, that is causing it.

Xanax are addictive and so are Valium or be careful what you are doing with those. You don't need another addiction.
