clonidine and restless legs

Help with restless leg syndrome? Legs hurt so bad when try to detox off pain meds.

yes it does help but it will knock you on your ***, dry mouth, go to the vitamin store and get L-tyrosine, and get SAM-e, also get melatonin for sleep, either get a potassium supplement for the leg stuff or eat alot of bananas, hope this helps

I have restless arms instead of legs and it drives me crazy! Other symptoms are being handled by imodium and clonidine. I have had no pills since the 2 I took at about 3 pm on Saturday, so what day is this???

m going CT on Wednesday and am going to see my doc Monday and ask for some Clonidine. I heard it helps with the restless legs and crawling out of your skin. Has it helped for you? in anyway? How?

Ok, is RLS simply the aches in the legs and cramps? Or is it like shaking of the leg? I'm kinda confused.... I'm on day 15 and my legs still ache by mid day....(and my mood usually sucks by mid day/evening too)....

I'm on day 7 off my methadone, I dropped down to 1ml and then stopped on boxing day. I haven't been able to sleep because of restless legs and especially restless arms. I've been eating healthy but am almost hallucinateing from lack of sleep. Is there any vitamins or something that will help me sleep and or help me get over this any quicker?

THE CLONIDINE IS MAKING ME FEEL LAZY LIKE I HAVE NO ENERGY AT ALL AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CANT STOP MY LEGS FROM SHAKING IF I COULD STOP MY LEGS FROM SHAKING ID FEEL BETTER BUT THEY JUST KEEP MOVING

i've tried clonidine, l-tryosine, magnesium, and benzos and I am doing a freaking jig in my bed with NO relief in sight. Feel like screaming. ANyone have any more ideas?

I was ruled out for Tetrabenzene and Namenda but those have shown to be of help. Atenolol was helpful for me and can be for some but I was changed to Clonidine and they interact but that is helpful on controlling akathesia for me. Zofran was helpful in experimental usage. Again it would depend on the cause but those options were helpful for me so you could discuss them with your neurologist.

I went to the health food store and bought the Hylands Restless legs stuff and then there was these tubes I think they are called Boron? If anyone is interested I can get the exact name. There was a kit on legs. One was for pain in legs, one for cramps, and the other was for RLS. I took them all. They were homeopathic and these little balls that you chew. I also got my 1 hour massage and drank a gallon of water after.

OMG...Thank you so much! I also have been on Subs for awhile now (over a year), so this is goood I can talk to someone whom has a similar history with these. The scariest part of withdrawal for me is the restless legs. I won't tolerate it and I know it will just make me go get ANYTHING I need to make it go away, so I will research further regarding the clonidine. Thanks so much!

all took requip for restless legs Valium for anxiety and clonidine for blood pressure and morphine for pain 30mg god help all of us and god touch our minds

It's been five days since I took my 1ml drink. I still feel crappy but I also haven't slept very much in those 5 days. My arms and legs are so restless anytime I try to sleep. I've been eating bananas and taking clonodine I think I slept for two hours last night so that's an improvement from the half hour days. I feel like I'm almost there! Thanks for any support and advice. It is do able to anyone trying, it's a long hard road but you can do it!

You can purchase it from a health food store. I am only on day 2 but I agree that the restless legs, arms and body are something that I would love to find an acceptable solution for!

She was prescribed that to relax and sleep, and help with her moods, doctors think she is bipolar, according to her, it is like Xanax, calms, relaxes. Good luck.

She will feel sick for about 5 days - flu like symptoms (aches, pains, runny nose, restless legs, hot/cold flashes, sweating, stomach problems) and then start to feel better... I am not sure of any complication that would occur with the diabetes but I would definitely suggest going to see a doctor to discuss it. A good doctor will help and give suggestions.. Where is she getting the meds? She should speak to the doctor prescribing her the meds..

well neither one of those will help the restless legs and unfortunatly nothing really helps it to much or didnt for me but get some potassium and magnesium vitamins and it will help a little and also some ppl swear by hyland restless legs med it is sold at walmart and it didnt help me but some ppl say it works really good but the potassium and magnesium is a must it will help some and also make the restless legs not last as long but all of this i mentioned can be bought at walmart and its not ve

A lot of people use the highlands rls for the restless legs, I used to feel like there were little pins in my legs I remember how bad it felt, I think I mentioned this to you but I put heating pads on my legs when I watched tv I swear by that!!! So glad you don"t have the depression so I think from my experience as everyone is different I think in a few days you will be over the nausea and Rls!!!!

Anyone here experiencing restless legs? I'm 8 weeks along and have only experienced restless legs prior to pregnancy when using sleeping pills. Now it seems to happen many nights, though not as severe as when I used to be medicated. I know baths help, but those are not always a possibility. Anyone know of other things that might help?

Does anyone else suffer from restless legs during their pregnancy? I'm 11 weeks, and wake up at night feeling like my legs are in an electrical socket. I have to get up and walk around all night and it's awful! I had this with my 1st pregnancy but definitely not this early! Is there anything to do to fix it?

I also failed to say that the standard meds for restless legs--requip (generic is roprinole) and miraplex are readily available and usually not at all difficult to get prescribed. They help a LOT!! Reduces the obnoxious feelings sometimes by half!

It's been 2 weeks for me, I sleep for about 2-3 hours at night. Wake up around 3 with my muscles killing me. Something about lying still aggravates my brain :-/ Been thinking about trying the hyland stuff. But I have been taking magnesium and potassium and they aren't helping too much. When the rls wakes me up I don't fight it tho.

Elevate your legs and stretch when you wake up and before you go to bed.

When i feel the symptoms resuming, i simply lay on my side, get into a very tight fetal position, really stretching the back and legs, hold for 2 minutes, release, and symptoms disappear for about 24 hours. I blelieve it is the stretching of the back that is doing something. I am now on a mission to tell as many people as possible. Ionly wish i had discoveed this many years ago. So many years of suffering!

i just started withdrawling from these pills and was wondering if there was anything i could do to ease the restless legs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
