Guest guest Posted April 2, 1999 Report Share Posted April 2, 1999 FELLOW SUFFERERS: My nitely friend has already come a-calling, and it's only midnite! I figure he will show up about two or three more times before I get up for the day. Since I now have RLS extending from my right arm all the way down the right leg, I ain't doing too much sleeping. Well, I guess this gives me the opportunity to clear out my several hundred RLS messages and maybe write a few of my own. Or, I can prowl around the neighborhood;it's nice to walk outside this time of the morning. As long as I don't get mugged that is. Or, i can watch all those sleazo cable flicks that they'd never have the guts to show in the daytime. There's so much to do when you get to wake up two or three times every night for years. We have so many opportunities normal human beings don't get. DAMN I LOVE MY RLS!!! Mike, 54 York Pa.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Hi to All, This message was triggered by Nortrup's message regarding RLS in his right arm/leg and his waking up 2 and 3 times a night. Sometimes I have RLS in one leg worse than the other (switches from right to left - that is, the same leg is not worse each time) and sometimes it's both legs equally. Also provided I get to sleep, I wake up every 1 1/2 to 2 hr all night long - and, as a result, I am exhausted all the time. I am curious if others experience the same things. In addition to Sinemet and Mirapex, I take Prozac (60 mg/day) and my doctor just put me on Klonopin. I have tried going off of Prozac to other SSRIs to see if Prozac was exacerbating my RLS. My RLS did not decrease when I went to Zoloft - my depression got worse though. The Klonopin is (to my understanding) to try and help me stay asleep. I am worried that I am taking too much medicine at this point. Any comments? ?
