Avatar n tn She has been taking carbidopa/levadopa and had probably increased the amount she takes as she seems to have the leg and arm continuously. At the onset, she is suffering a lot of pain and discomfort. She is wondering if the arm problem has started because of the carbidopa. She has had to sleep on the floor because of her discomfort. Soma seems to relax her a bit. I guess my question is this. Is this all connected, arms and legs, or is it a symptom of something else.

1542096 tn?1293162924 Hi, restless leg syndrome (RLS) can be treated by underlying illness, if known. For example, a search for iron deficiency by blood testing to reveal underlying iron deficiency anemia by supplying iron. Elimination of caffeine, smoking and alcohol can be very helpful. Getting better sleep and exercise can help some persons affected by restless legs. Drugs include carbidopa-levodopa, opioids , tramadol for intermittent symptoms, carbamazepine, clonazepam, diazepam, triazolam, and clonidine.
Cat I developed what I think is restless leg syndrome 3 months after knee replacement surgery. In talking to a friend today, I found that she has had the same issues and she is taking the same antidepressant, citalopram. Has anyone ever heard of this drug causing these symptoms? I have been on citalopram for several years, and have not had many side effects until now. The symptoms are bad enough to interrupt my sleep.
Avatar f tn you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. dont take the tramadol. treat the restless leg syndrome. take potassium/magnesium supplements. eat bananas. foods high in potassium. you can get hylands restful leg supplements. keep up the good work.
Avatar f tn t explain how they feel other than they are just so weak and weather I am laying down, walking or sitting, they ache and feel like restless leg syndrome. I decided to stop taking it for one reason I didn't want to be dependent on a drug to get me through the day. Also, I stayed constipated for days at a time. I have Xanax, but really don't want to take that either. If I do I'll take it to sleep. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I don't know how I will make it.
Avatar n tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. Restless leg syndrome is a common cause of painful legs. Restless leg syndrome also features worsening of symptoms during the early evening or later at night. The characteristic nighttime worsening of symptoms in persons with restless legs syndrome frequency leads to insomnia. The cause of restless leg syndrome is unknown in most patients.
Avatar f tn How can you cure restless leg. My husb has it and takes a med at the highest level. He has to take it 2hrs before bed. Please, can he be cured?
Avatar f tn thanks a ton, i am getting the restless leg syndrome since i took the glutamine. i dont' know if that is connected or not. i'll experiment. any other tips?
Avatar f tn I hope you had a good night of sleep. The restless leg syndrome is oftentimes a part of the withdrawal process. When you get to such low dosages, withdrawal symptoms might surface. It sounds to me that you are decided to succeed and put this issue behind you, try these tips to alleviate the pain: Try taking calcium supplements as that might help to ease the muscle aches.
Avatar m tn Tramadol is a tough one. Since you took it for so long you probably should have done a slower taper. Anyway it may take a couple weeks to get your sleep back and the RLS to go away. Try eating a banana everyday....theres something called Hylands that OTC thats helps with the legs. A long hot bath before bed could help too. Good luck.
Avatar m tn I thought that would let me sleep but after reading online I realize im experience serious restless leg syndrome. What should I do at this point? Also, the doctors cannot find the source of my leg pains so Im struggling to get back on the Tramadol for the pain...
Avatar f tn Not sure but restless leg syndrome or neuropathy comes to mind

Avatar n tn I am 26 years old I suffer from chronic migraines. Supposedly I have restless leg syndrome. Since I had diagnose they have change my medication 3 times. At first the doctor prescribed me tramadol 50 mg, then she prescribed Requip 15 mg and now they prescribed me Meripex .0125 mg. My question is Why none of those medicines I just mentioned help me with the symptoms I have?
Avatar n tn So maybe eat some bananas or get a potassium supplement. I hate restless leg syndrome and deal with it every morning before I take my morning dose of oxycodone! Good luck getting rid of it!
501163 tn?1218076238 I rubbed it a little on the arms and left leg and made sure it was touching my leg when I went to sleep. It helped a little at first, then after 3 days it gave a lot of relief. I made sure it was about half way in the bed when I made it. I used dial gold but I think you can use any brand. I am extremely skeptical about off the wall suggestions, however, desperate times called for desperate measures. Haahaahaa...
305180 tn?1279716747 Anyone know what I can do to help with restless leg syndrome. They get restless and jerky off and on throught the day and evening, and it doesnt seem to matter how I am sitting or laying. Any ideas of anything that can help with this?
Avatar f tn Hey there, thankfully I don't have restless leg syndrome this time round! I had it before and OH MY GOD! it was annoying! I also suffer from insomnia at the moment too though so I am with you there, I am also just over 9 weeks! (hopefully) Anyways, I used to try a hot water bottle and things like that, right on your skin or a heat blanket, just for your legs though. The reason being, the restless leg syndrome is usually a sign of bad circulation!
