I'm 70+ days Klono free, and months free of Oxycontin, Soma & Methadone, also Elavil, and NOW Ambien! I'm also almost off Requip, which I believe was making my muscle cramps much worse!  Now I'm not having RLS, how ironic considering it is used for RLS ::).  I should be off it in a few days.  I feel empowered now that these pills are a thing of the past.  My worst symptoms are nerve pain, muscle cramps/spasms, spine pain, tinnitus.  I'm making headway and I'm so thankful! 

 

I take many supplements & herbs, and they are definitely helping me make progress.  I'm sleeping at least 7 hours a nite, which has been such a blessing to healing.  All I'm taking is .125mg Requip, 10mg Flexeril 2x a day, Vistoril 50mg 2 @bedtime & .50mg Clonodine 2x a day.  No opiates, and NO BENZOS!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Thank you for BB, and all your support.  Much love,  :smitten:

Good for you MountainGirl!  That's a lot of medication that is no longer in your system, you should be proud of all you have accomplished.

Wasn't trying to be smart in second post, just laughing at myself mostly. :crazy:

 

What an idiot I was to C/T off it all, but I'm so glad I'm almost done and am healing.  Thanks sweets, I'm getting my brain, health back & sense of humor too. :laugh:

So happy for you as well, MountainGirl! 

I take Requip for pre-existing RLS and don't think it has to be tapered… that's what I was told by a pharmacist… no dependencies with Requip.

Challis, that's what they all say, we know that story too well don't we?  lol :idiot:::) I read up online, ppl do have side effects going off it, fever, dizziness, others, plus it helped me sleep, so trying to dodge a bullet, and go off slowly.  My dose is low, but still, made so much progress, don't want to chance it.  Also I cut flexeril and requip both in half this weekend, realizing they were dopamine agonists, and had horrid cramps for 2 days, so easing off it.  I'm staying on the Flexerils, I need them with the horrid fibro I have.

 

Hugs Challis  :smitten:
