I hope you don't mind if I share that....it is comforting to know that one of the most dreaded symptoms does not necessarily have to happen.  Obviously we can't promise it won't but offering a little bit of hope is a good thing too.  It seems to me that you got a little luck on your side :-)

No idea.  Just lucky I guess.  I have had it before from gravol (too much) but never during ALL of my detoxes.  I felt it in my arms during some bad ones and even in my chest but none in my legs.
I have talked to several people who didn't get it in their legs.
It's a good thing because I don't have a bathtub and I hate that when I'm in withdrawal lol.

Thanks Pat.  I did say almost everyone...but not everyone.  You are actually the first I've talked to who has specifically told me they didn't get RLS...you lucky devil you!  What WAS your secret?  Thanks for letting me know that fact :-)

Not everyone gets it.  I have never had it and know many others who didn't.
If it happens, it happens but don't stress waiting for it since it may not even be an issue.

Hun, almost everyone gets RLS....but not usually on the first day.  You'll probably start noticing it on the 2nd evening or the 3rd.  Make sure you have what you need to replace the magnesium in your leg muscles and the tonic water with Quinine.  Those will help with the RLS.  Just remember....it isn't forever....do your best to do what you can to ease your symptoms and then promptly do anything you can to keep your mind off of it....walking, exercising, watching some comedy, chatting with friends...anything that will keep you from dwelling on how you feel.  It will NOT last forever and it will be ever so worth it.

No, I didn't ever get restless legs so don't even worry about it unless it happens.  Some people don't get all of the symptoms.
Just relax, watch some funny videos on youtube if you can't sleep and keep your spirits up.  What will be will be.
Just remember it is temporary.
