It might be advisable for you to try to find other medications for your anxiety and your insomnia; several of the anti-anxiety and insomnia medications do make RLS worse, but others do not.
Your episodes of waking up with several uncomfortable symptoms may be panic attacks, but there are several other possibilities.
It sounds like you have several symptoms and problems related to sleep, and you might find benefit from evaluation at a Sleep Disorders Center.
As you already know, it usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms of acute withdrawal, followed by several months of just insomnia and general weakness and depression. A physician may be able to prescribe you some Neurontin (gabapentin) for general malaise, anxiety and muscle cramps, Requip for the restless leg syndrome and possibly something like Seroquel low dose for the insomnia.
You could ask your doc for Requip...it is used for restless leg syndrome. There are a few other meds that could possibly help...one of them being Neurontin. Talk to your doc about it....Other than that, I used a heating pad that wrapped around my legs for that wanting to move constantly feeling...it helped some...not alot, but some. Valium will not help for this.
If you go CT from hydro 10/325 & 7.5, 10-15 a day, does it take longer for the restless legs & arms to stop, also the insomnia. This is what caused me to start taking them again, I could not handle, was scared I would have a heart attack from no sleep and the constant restless legs and arms!!! Please pray for me and my family. thank you.
You can try asking a physician to prescribe you some Requip for restless legs, Clonidine for blood pressure and general anxiety control and maybe get some over the counter Valerian for sleep and sedation.
The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months. Thus, it is not easy, but it gets better and better over time and you can look forward to a drug free healthy energetic you in the future.
Take a look at my blogs about options for detox and recovery.

The reason for this longer depression and insomnia symptoms is because Tramadol has an effect on the serotonin receptor in the central nervous system. That means you may also need an SSRI antidepressant to deal with some depression that may develop as the result of your withdrawal.
The withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opioids and usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.

But it does get better and better every day, so please don’t give up.
Symptoms usually start around 36 hours after stopping the drug since it is so long acting and binds receptors so strongly. Those acute withdrawals can last up to several weeks. The residual depression, insomnia and weakness may persist for months.

I suffer from restless leg syndrome, only it's not limited to just my legs; my entire body jerks and spasms at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. I already suffer from insomnia; now I have this to deal with. Please help; I keep my husband awake from the agony these twitches cause. Any help would be appreciated.
I am a 30 year old female, married with 4 kids. I have had so many health problems lately, and so many diagnosis, that I am starting to wonder if it is something else? I feel like there is no way I have all these things wrong with me! That and the treatments never seem to work. Here are my problems. Migraines-I get headaches almost on a daily basis. Half of the time they turn into full blown migraines. I am on a medicine to help prevent them, that seems to work only part of the time.
See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. It will make your withdrawals easier. Clonidine will help stabilize your blood pressure and help with the creepy-crawly feeling that you are having. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter.

Hello! I would like to know if I have any reason to be concerned with what is going on with me lately. I am 38, mother of 3 girls, I have had severe reproduction problems since i was diagnosed with endomitriosis when I was 18 and it went from there.
Besides Mirapex, the other medications that are approved to treat Restless Legs Syndrome are Neurontin, Requip and Neupro. I recommend speaking to your doctor about these medications to see if one may be appropriate for you.
Dear Doctor:
Could you please help me to cope with the horror of the abstinence of tramadol, I'm in my 25th day, but the insomnia is killing me I don't have energy for even going out or driving, I'm forcing my self so hard, I tried natural herbs like rhodiola ,but my fatiga got worst,besides brought back those cold sweats and heat waves that it makes feel like if my blood is burning internally; my system even rejected valerian,and also I'm taking 10 mg of melatonin but one day
