RLS can be caused by withdrawal of receptors in the legs, not just the brain!!!

I had absolutely NO idea that immodium relieves RLS.
I will keep that in mind just in case I have no other resources.
I have finally gotten my kpins refilled but it had been awhile and I suffered in the meantime.
I use a roll on analgesic approximately the same as GenBay(not trying to advertise anything) on my legs when I don't have benzos. GenBay does help some. I make sure I have bottle with me when I go somewhere. As miserable as RLS is, it is hard to explain to someone who doesn't have it, maybe never heard of it, and gets annoyed with the leg movements.
I don't know why it makes a difference but it truly does, and has kept me from going bats during horrible nights of RLS.

If your RLS is a result of opiate withdrawal then lope will help. If yo have RLS for some other reason (not sure what that would be) I don;t think lope would do anything. It helps with rls b/c it helps with withdrawals all around.
Thank you ms4104. I was not aware of that facet of the drug.
My RLS is just something that came on with age. The amount of exercise I get, the amount of sleep I get, the vitamins and supplements I take, nothing, absolutely nothing plays any bearing on it. Once I sit down or lay down in the evening, if it's going to start, that's when it starts. I end up having to get up and walk around. It isn't calf cramps, which I only had during pregnancy.
About the same time I started into the change, there were miserable nights when I didn't sleep and couldn't stop my legs from twitching. I went crazy for long time, thinking I was the only person with spaz legz. I happened upon a little article in one of my periodicals that explained RLS.
I made an appt with my dr. and took in the article. He diagnosed me and started me on benzos. I went overboard with the benzos and have had to start over from scratch. Withdrawals from the benzos made me want to seriously hurt myself because of the frustration of my legs at night. I don't know if I ever talked about it during the time on BL, but I went though a very fukkt stretch of time.

Benzos don't actually do shti for RLS or plms. The benzos are scripted basically to just help people fall asleep and stay asleep. For actually trying to help with RLS dopamine agonists (pramipexole, ropinirole), anti-convulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin), and finally opioids (tramadol, methadone, oxycodone), are the standard. They script benzos all the time, but a lot of docs like to try these meds above due to their ability to actually help with the RLS and PLMS symptoms. I'm scripted 20mg of methadone and 2mg of clonazepam.
That's interesting... my grandson takes clonopin for seizures. Because of that I assumed restless legs were in the seizure disorder family
I don't think my doctor would prescribe methadone for me. I have taken my mother's methadone on several occasions, and I always get nauseous. She has been on painkillers for years and years, and her methadone tolerance seems insane to me. I had no idea it was used for RLS... which is basically ok since I am not going back on opiates. I don't even feel tempted to take them although I pick up her medications for her half the time.
I take Cymbalta, which has a slight mitigating effect on the RLS while having an ample and necessary effect on moodswings. If anyone here has ever seen "That 70s Show" you may have seen some of the episodes where Kitty has menopause effects. They might be a little exaggerated for comic effect, but the people who wrote those episodes knew a thing or two about the effects of menopause.
and that's going off topic so I'll stop.
