"restful legs" relief for restless legs durring Opioid withdrawal?

[WARDMAN3]

There is no drug I despise more than diphenhydramine. The jittery feeling I get from it is enough to throw me over the edge. It magnifies the restless leg syndrome during WD's by 100.

well, i havent quite yet found out if this stuff works yet as i keep finding ways to obtain more methodone, but now I have no more methadone and only a few suboxone, so im now about hour 53 waiting to dose the suboxone but i want to make it the rest of the day because i still dont feel too horendouse and dont want to precipitate withdrawal, but i have a feeling that tonight i may try out the rls stuff while waiting for it to be safer to take the subs... I donno, Ive been really pussing out about this whole kicking it thing, so hopefully I will keep the momentum going the correct way, all i know is im gonna be bowing to my industrial size bottle of loperamide soon because i already feel like im aobut to drop 50 lbs lol

Amen EnYAY! Last thurs. I was out of my methadone and my last fentanyl patch wore off. This about 6pm thurs. I could not get my methadone from the clinic until it opened @ 530a fri morning. So I go to the pharm to get my Robaxin (methocarbomal) refilled cause I knew the w/d's were coming before morning and methadone w/ds are absolutely agonizing! So they began in earnest about 9pm but I had dosed heavily with the methacarbamol until I was stumbling around the house when going to bathroom and getting water to drink. Was very drowsy when the w/d's began but soon enough taking more of the methacarbomal only made me more unsteady on my feet. Twice I fell in the bathroom, blacking my left eye, and wrenching my left shoulder really bad. Frantic by about 1am, I began going thru my methadone bottles, licking the inside of the bottom caps, anything to assuage my agony! Then going thru all my used fentanyl packets, in the hopes I had forgotten one, but nope, no such luck. By about 3am, I really thought I would not make it until 530am, but I kept tossing on my bed, trying to watch tv, anything to get my mind off the agony. By 445am, I was at the end of my rope but still 45 minutes to go and I knew the methadone dose would take at least 1 hour to begin it's work. So I take my two dogs to the park near my home and walked them around the 1/2 mile path. Sheer AGONY!!!!!!! When I get back in my car, 505am so I head to the clinic, with fees in hand.(they will not dose you if you owe money) However I am a healthcare professional, so the money has never been a problem. This clinic costs $77/wk, so is one of the better cost clinics. Arrived at clinic at 515am about insane with w/d pain and anxiety.(I get both restless arms and legs, hooboy!) To my relief the door was already open so I hurried in, paid my fees and asked if I could go on back to the dose window. To additional relief, the nurse was sympathetic and dosed me early and I also got my 2 week take homes. Head back home still feeling horrible, but knowing relief was on the way. Got home and went ahead and took another dose (I take 120mg daily), so now I had 240mg of methadone onboard. Slowly, I began to feel better and by 9am I was snoozing away, no worst for the wear. So EnRAY, you are sooooooo right, methacarbomal does nothing to ease the agony of w/d's. Yet I have had success with Soma (carisprodol) and I know it will double the effect of opiates. I guess is why Soma is really popular with hydrocodone and oxycodone users. Most certain, I WILL have Soma on hand the next time this happens. You think I would learn, but no. I get 10 of the 100mcg Fentanyl patches each month, but usually gone in a week if I want to feel in an elevated mood, but the methadone prevents an all out high. Hey, good to be aboard here. Hope to find some good support here.

Methadone has a pretty long half life.
If you ran out of 'done on thursday and your patch wore off about 6 that day you shouldn't have had withdrawals at 9 o'clock. Fuck, you should have been fine until you could go to the clinic the next morning. I used to go to a clinic and I was on 120mg a day as well. When I ran out early, which was always about 3 or 4 days before my bi-weekly pick up, I could go at least 24 hours with hardly any withdrawals at all. IDK, I gueass everone is different, but it doesn't seem likely though.

dunno when i was on 180 mgs methadone years ago(max allowed), i would dose at 6 am when they opened and start getting w/d but that afternoon every single day and have to use dope to get through night until next morning when they opened.

Theres a minority of people who are fast metabolizers of opioids/certain medications. There is a guideline for dealing with this, split dosing: giving half the daily dose in the morning, the other half in the evening. I'm surprised your clinic didn't do this for you.
