I was taking 6 meds daily for various conditions. I went off them one by one. I told my doctor I was the one asking for the meds. I’m a lot healthier without the meds. Sometimes you just have to put up with it. I have had RLS at times. I get up and walk around. Stops it.
Sounds like a serious problem. I think we should form a GSK support group. Be there when needed.
I'm up for that.
so to speak...
Agreed. I mean, really, is she supposedly going to sue because a drug made her want sex more often?
Marketing genius!
“I think we should form a GSK support group. Be there when needed.”
I’m in, only if it involves some sort of screening process, similar to a police lineup.
A man’s got to have standards.
Supposedly benadryl ingredient can help with restless leg syndrome.
I wish that getting up and walking around would help me. It doesn’t stop it, at least for me.
Also, I move my legs in my sleep and sometimes kick my husband. I have no idea I’m doing that. So for his sake, I take the lowest dosage ropinirole. It does help me settle down.
It is the only prescription I take.
Everyone who had it no doubt. I did a sleep,study once, and it showed definate restless leg syndrome, and I would wake up with blankets strewn all over the floor from kicking and moving legs while asleep. It is a condition that is verifiable with testing.
“Honey, I got some new vitamins for you to take...”
Theyntried Chantix on me to quit smoking- wow did it give me violent dreams- brutal violent dreams. I had to quit taking it. Eventually quit cold turkey, but too late unfortunately.
Quinine is supposed to help rls- tonic water contains enough to calm it- don’t have to drink much-
Also that Irish Riverdancing
That is always a possibility :)
Moving in your sleep? Well, yeah.
Those weren’t dreams. You’re wanted in five states.
Me.
I had a broken ankle, and while in the hospital, the nurses reported that I quit breathing frequently during my sleep. So the doctor sent me to a sleep study to count how many times I quit breathing. I’m lucky, I don’t need a CPAP machine.
The sleep study also showed that I had restless legs and kicked and twitched during the night, something both my husband and I were aware of. So I was prescribed ropinirole to help with that.
I’ve been on the lowest dose for 20 years, without problems.
Another success for the American healthcare industry!
Lol I missed my calling apparently
