Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 Hi, anyone out there? I just discovered today that I have had rls since I was small.I happened on all this infor while researching my chronic insomnia on the net. I must say I was shocked to find it a real syndrome. I thought I was having anxiety attacks and this was a symptom. Also I have it a a bad reaction to some meds. I am going to Dr. on Friday aremmed with all the stuff I printed on RLS. I think for me muscle relaxers are the way to go, mabey Soma. Any suggestions? Jan in Houston, Texas.Does anyone else suffer form anxiety attacks as well? I have been on the anti-depressant merry-go-round and some make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 1999 Report Share Posted June 4, 1999 I have depression too, and RLS, I use Baclofen, and it really helps me and does not knock me flat, thank goodness. For the first few days I was a little drowsy, but got over that as I got used to the drug. Find it helps with my back pain and nighttime RLS, but not the daytime RLS I have, still looking for a cure (medicine) for that one with my doctor. He is researching a huge sheaf of papers I gave him from the internet and you guys.
