I decided to take off the patch because I think I am through the worst of my w/d and that the patch was making me feel worse.
I saw the doc today for a check up. She gave me a couple different things to try to sleep. She also went back and looked at my records from before I began pain pills. I was having symptoms of RLS back then. She said that opiates are often used to treat RLS so the symptoms were probably masked. She ordered a requip start up kit for me, but the pharmacy didnt have any so I have to wait til Monday. She told me to use it for a week and see what happens, then we will talk about whether or not I do truly have RLS or it is just a w/d symptom
