Q? Does anyone else have a problem with taking medication with sleep aides in it?
Usually resulting in, what can best be described as, Restless Limb Syndrome
I began getting (Restless Leg Syndrome) whenever I took Tylenol PM, so I stopped taking it.
So, I began taking generic NyQuil (aka NiteTime), until I started getting Restess Leg/ Arm Syndrome.
Then, last night, I took generic Benydril (Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride) because I was itching all over.
This caused me to have Restless Leg Syndrome in both my legs.
I call it "Restless Limb Syndrome" (at the suggestion of another member), because it can happen to
my arms or my legs, or all of them.
It is a very irritating feeling, that will NOT let you stay still. You cannot get comfortable, no matter how
you sit/lay down.
It gets so bad, that I try standing, squeezing my feet or arm, physically striking my feet or hand
(with my fist or back scratch-er), nothing seems to work. What makes it even more inconvenient
is at the time it occurs, I really want to go to sleep, and can't.
Last night, I broke down and took one of my wife's muscle relaxers, and was finally able to go to
sleep.
My Q? for any of you is: Does this happen to you? (when you take any medication with a sleep aide)
