Common Questions and Answers about Requip withdrawal symptoms
requip
Every other sleep aid made above symptoms worse. Did tapered Requip withdrawal while adding the sinemet. Right now taking 1/2 afternoon and 1 at night.Offers little help with night RLS. None with bad waking. Horrible to go back to where I was after those months of peaceful nights and NORMAL waking. Any help welcome.
Dear Kat,
I do know that taking Requip itself can cause hallucinations. But he's been taken off it. Now, stopping Requip can cause confusion. So, I don't know what to make of it. I do recall when I had pneumonia, I was out of my mind, and I have never taken Requip. I suppose it's possible he's having a combination of fever hallucinations, left-over Requip hallucinations, and withdrawal confusion. Any way you look at it, he's having a very hard time.

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.
I would only imagine that the physician, who has been prescribing you the Tramadol so freely, should be willing to help you taper it and help you with the side effects of the withdrawals that you will be experiencing. I would not recommend stopping it cold turkey as the withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opiates. It usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.
Also, my primary care manager doesn’t know much about opiate withdrawal symptoms and as a result isn’t much help. How does one find a doctor with knowledge and experience with opiate withdrawal and should I be looking for a medical doctor or a physiatrist?
I am concerned about withdrawal, as even though my total intake each day isnt a lot, my body is used to taking one a day.
Is the withdrawal going to be long and hard, I am nervous and scared. I already take medication for severe anxiety (klonopin, effexor 75mg once a day) I just want to know what kind of symptoms and how long I will have to deal with it. ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
i am a reasonably healthy 46yo female & spent 18 years on methadone before being involuntarily withdrawn from 75mg methadone over an 8 week period. Last 20mg I came off at 1mg per day. I am now taking (not prescribed) 5-20mg methadone per day as I couldn't cope with some withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is not available to me in New Zealand & my GP prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for sleep.
I applaud you resolve to stay clean, but want to caution you that methadone is a long acting narcotic and your withdrawal symptoms will stick around for quite a while. You will feel rotten for as long as four to six weeks. 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.
I would only imagine that the physician, who has been prescribing you the tramadol so freely, should be willing to help you out with the side effects of the withdrawals that you are now experiencing. You should definitely be tapering the pills to minimize the symptoms of withdrawal.
You should definitely be tapering the pills to minimize the symptoms of withdrawal. The way you taper is to take half a pill less a day every day until you take only one at night, than half at night, and finally none. This should minimize your withdrawals.
The withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opiates and usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.
But for right now, to deal with your withdrawal symptoms, 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, Clonidine helps with the creepy-crawly feeling and helps stabilize the blood pressure. All of these medications will make your life easier during this time.
I also taking seroquel, lamictal, lexapro and l tyrosine for bipolar depression. Do u think the withdrawal from the tramadol will be bad? Should I taper? What should I expect? Please help me. I'm scared. Thanks.
I have been off Suboxone for 1 week now. My Dr had had prescribed a 2 week withdrawal script but I am unable to take this due to a court ordered program. This Drug Court has said I MUST be clean from this and any other drugs by Nov. 2nd. I've signed my life away to do this so I MUST be clean.
Questions:
1.How long will this stay in my system? I had tested positive after taking no Suboxone for 3 days. The court said I should have been negative. They have given me 2 weeks to do this.
Hello team! I'm preparing for my big quitting day, October 1! I know some of you folks will question why I set a date, but I have learned from past experieinces that you have to plan for this challenge. My questions is, can anyone tell me what it means when something has "moderate in vitro affinity for opioid receptors"??
I want to try Requip for the terrible RLS I get during wihdrawals.
It takes away most withdrawal symptoms including the restless limbs which for most people is the worst part of the withdrawal. I always had to take a bunch of it though. But the thing is that it makes you very sleepy so when I went through 2.5 days of withdrawal I slept pretty decently. It should work for you since you are on day 11. Good luck and I will be thinking about you! If you cant get Neurontin try some generic (or brand name) immodium.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET OFF TRAMADOLS WITHOUT THE HORRIBLE WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS OR IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN TAKE WHILE BE OFF THE TRAMADOL SO THAT I WON'T GET THOSE HOSSIBLE WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS?
I was taking 5 a each day up until recently when I got completely tired of takin them an them just doing nothing good for my life so with the few I had left I cut back very quickly from 5 to 3 to 2 to half a day all in one week an I definitely had withdrawal symptoms my question is I'm 2 days now with out taking any I still have chills an can't sleep because I get an overwhelming frustration i believe u guys call that rls well any way since I had started feeling withdrawals while I was
If you have a private physician you can confide in, you can ask for a prescription of Requip. It is wonderful for "restless legs" patients gets get after withdrawal. We use it in our clinic to minimize and then treat residual symptoms. It is one of those pesky once that remain for a few days after detox, even though patients feel great otherwise.
I've been on suboxone a lil over 2years. I was addicted to Laura tabs and opanas for about a year and a half. I wanted to try and get clean but the withdrawals was too much seeing I worked 40+ hours around the clock so my buddy hooked me up with a couple of subs saying they would help me get off opiates which they did but I slowly started to get addicted to the suboxone. Next thing I know I'm buying them every week off the street.
You should definitely be tapering the pills to minimize the symptoms of withdrawal. The withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opiates and usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.
Switching to methadone would not be a good idea, because than you will have withdrawals from that.
