It's 346 am and I'm crying. Did a second ibogaine treatment and it worked again. No withdrawal at all. . But same thing happened. On day 5 after treatment I got restless legs. So insane I can't even describe. It's like an anxiety attack in ur legs and just can't handle it. I called my ibogaine center and told them I think it's bc of low dopamine levels but they said ibogaine reset my dopamine so not that. I didn't have rls before I used opiates. It's strange how opiates is the one thing that cures it. I was on 500mg of oxy a day and now 1 percocet cures my rls. Anyone else have this problem. If I can't cure this then I guess I'm stuck on opiates forever
RLS is a symptom of opiate withdrawal and it can linger longer than other symptoms. I always got it really bad from opiate withdrawal, and as a kid I experienced RLS frequently and intensely, my mom and brother did too (and still do sometimes, somehow I escaped it when I grew up, thank god). I hate the feeling, but you can get past it. When I did ibogaine, I did start feeling it again after a week, but I was so determined to stay off opiates (and had no cravings) that I just dealt with it for about another week and I was through, no more RLS and I've never even wanted to do an opiate since except as a passing thought that was easily dismissed).
I get the maddening nature of it though, for me it was always literally the worst part of opiate withdrawal. I can deal with thew depression and anxiety and body malaise and sickness, but the RLS driving me insane, well, it drove me insane. As someone above mentioned, though, they now have medications to deal with it. I know Lyrica works wonders, and I guess there are others too. Rather than getting back on opiates, why don't you go to the doctor and tell them you're experiencing severe RLS and can't sleep, etc. They should prescribe you something, it's now a recognized medical condition (unlike when I was a kid... my mom and I just called it "crazy legs" and our doctor didn't believe us, he was just like, well, just stop moving your legs then, with a roll of his eyes). If you're really past the cravings and other withdrawal, don't let this symptom make you feel like you have to be on opiates forever. It will pass, it won't last forever, just for a little while.
