rls is the reason everytime i went ct i would use again, i have stomach problems, so im use to throwing up, nausea, and the runs, i suffer from migrains for for 10 years so the headaches didnt bother me, the cravings i had where ok but then i dont think i really made it long enough on ct to really get strong cravings i only made it 2 days the longest, what really got me was the rls i had it 24/7 in my whole body it felt like and it was so bad at night, i wuold move sooooo much that my husband slept on the couch, and the no sleeping really didnt bother me cause i have had problems with sleeping since i was really little, so if wds did involve rls i think i would have no problem with wds cause im use to the rest of them

One of my dear friends has parkinsons...the mechanism or true rls is very similar...one of the reasons it acts up at night is because ur mind is not occupied...if u ever watch a parkinson patient, they do not tremor when they are concentrating on something...until the later stages that si

thank you to everyone for all your suggestions. i guess after 12 years of taking up to 100 T 1's a day i am getting off lucky....i have tried most of the suggestions and know luck...i work out with weights everday and it doesn't seem to make a difference.....oh well, as you all say, it will take time....i have had RLS for years, but NEVER this severe!
does anyone know if the fact that i am on Paxil 30mg o.d. may play a role in my RLS???
i have been on this med for 5 years now.........thanks again everyone! i don't know what i would do without you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa

I have it in my left arm as well as my legs it is seriously a horrible side effect that takes time to lose that from wds. I can only guess it has something to do with our brains stopping to produce dopamine from all the opiate abuse and it takes time for us to straighten out regarding hormone production. Get up and walk I can remember nights of walking the halls of my house so tired I thought I would fall over unconscious but could not slepp because of the rls. Wal-green's sells a homeopathic pill manufactured by Hyland's it is called Restful Legs and I bought some and it eased a bit not alot but anything is worth the effort. It might work well for you. I suggest giving it a try.
