Hi friends,

here. Haven't posted much, but read everything, every day.

Last night, after finishing a bit of an alcohol binge which lasted a

couple of days, I took two Lorazepam (Ativan) to steady myself and

hopefully get a good night's sleep.

I logged in thinking I'd give the pills time to work before hitting the

hay.

Low and behold, every 1 min. or so, that old pulse leading to an urge

(necessity!) to kick violently.

As it happened, I slept really well. But I have never before noticed

this aggravating effect on rls symptoms of these drugs.

Could someone offer some notes to compare?

Thanks,
