Restless Legs Syndrome
"After being on high doses of Percocet for over two months due to kidney issues, I quit my pain meds cold turkey. My RLS went from irritating restless legs to insanity causing restless body. Opiate detox can apparently cause RLS to greatly intensify if you cold turkey off your pain meds. My requip now does absolutely nothing for me. It was hard enough remembering to take one dose at 5pm and a second dose a hour before bed to begin with, now that it&#039;s stopped working I&#039;ve reverted back to taking pain meds at night just to help the RLS. Unfortunately pain meds don&#039;t help me sleep, but at least I can lay still and stare at the ceiling."
