Guest guest Posted March 24, 1999 Report Share Posted March 24, 1999 Good morning, Anybody out there familiar with having a " bottom " ? (no Jack not your rear-end) anyway I quit drinking 15 years ago because of my " bottom " . Now I feel like I have hit in RLS, did not think it would be possible. I was on Klonopin for 7 years, quit taking it in November and went thru a terrible withdrawal. I swore I would never take it again. Well never say never, went back on it last night. I was up to four Mirapex, 2 tylenol, 1 Neurontin and 1 Ambien and my legs still would not settle down. Oh yes the chumper too. Spent the last two weeks with such frustration at night that I thought I was going to lose my mind. I have to get up at 4:30am to go to work and for us thats about when my legs decide " ok, the partys over I think I am tired now and I will relax for awhile " , but unfortunately its the same time my alarm clock goes off. So I went back on Klonopin last night. Slept so well, my legs were still active but it shuts my brain down enough that I get some sleep.I cant say as if I am depressed, just disappointed. When I bought it at the pharmacy I felt like was having a " slip " or something. I know alot of people can take it without any problems, but for me and my addictive problems I try at all costs to avoid these types of drugs. But RLS is a real physical thing and not treating it was costing me alot as far as sleep, stress etc...... Well time to go to work Thanks for listening 38 Des Moines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
