RLS part of wd?

[[kr...]]

Is anyone have restless leg sydrome often? Ive had it several times in my life, but more so lately. esp past week. I massage, stretch, and take a homeopathic tomake it go away which finally does but losing sleep. I dont know if its part of the musculature/nerves and or benzo wd. I dont want to start googling! that gets me in a dark place.

I take 15 mg remeron since last aug.. could side affects come on this late?

can anyone help?

Kris,

 

RLS is one of my persistent symptoms.  I get rid of it wearing tight compression socks you can get in most grocery stores.  I get RLS in the evenings when I'm trying to go to bed.  I used to have to wear the socks every night.  As time went on, I would have to wear them for a couple of months, then a break, then a month, then a break then a couple of weeks....you see the progression.  Now when I get the RLS sensation, I can get up and walk it off or I can put on one sock for ten minutes (only happens to one leg at a time now) and I can take off the sock and fall asleep.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sofa! That helped me, for sure! I had these on after a major surgery back in 2001. I have had RLS since quitting this crap, and I couldn't remember the name of the socks they put on my legs to keep them circulating properly. You made me happy!!

Have you investigated on some organic causes, including B1, B6, B12 vitamins deficiency and low ferritin (while serum iron is normal)?
