RLS

[do_it_to_it]

How long did your rls last? Im know everyone is different. what is the best way to ease or even eliminate it all together? Im on day6 with 6 hours into it off of vicodins less then a year of using. It only bothers me at night. as soon as it gets dark and no matter what im doing. Im still on crutches so walking is not going to help. Thanks for the input.

There is a product called Hyland's Restful Legs sold OTC at Walgreens/Walmart. It works great. Also, add some potassium and magnesium tablets and Epsom salt baths and you'll feel much better!

Restless leg syndrome is one of the most bothersome and lasting withdrawal symptoms. I would suggest that you get in touch with your regular doctor and ask for a prescription of Requip which is very effective for RLS.
Good luck to you.
