Cindy.....

Come to think of it.....when I was on Prozac for fibromyalgia...the rls came

back and I had to get off of the Prozac. Anything with dyphenhydramine (

Benadryl,Tylenol PM, etc. causes the symptoms to appear.

I had been on Inderal ( propranalol) 10-20 mg. for many years and when the Dr.

cut it back to a 10 mg. every other day ( it is not manufactured in 5 mg.

pills) the symptoms worsened but gradually. I read in the info from the

Southern Cal. RLS Support Group on meds for RLS that " propranalol has been

documented to help RLS even at low doses " I remember now that when I took it

at night with an aspirin I did well. I dont know why I started taking it in

the AM but I will go back to taking it in the PM and try to get off the

Sinemet.

I kick myself for not having located this wonderful support group long ago. I

had no idea that there would even be anything on the web related to my " crazy

legs " . Its like a whole new world out there just for me and you all who suffer

with something that is " all in your head " .
