Any home remedies or med suggestions for severe restless leg syndrome?

ropinirole

I spray my legs, ankles, feet, lower back and hips with Theraworx. I rub the Theraworx in for several minutes, and this stops and keeps the RLS away.

I started taking magnesium as a supplement and realized that my RLS went away. It is magnesium glycinate. There are many types of magnesium and this is the one that works. I take 500 mg but I suppose you could take more if the RLS is severe. Also, it does not upset your stomach like other magnesiums do. Hope this helps

Tramadol helped me immensely.

I have found that heat has helped my rls. I have slippers you put in microwave to heat them. I get it in my feet. Also small doses of antidepressants containing serotonin have helped. An over-the-counter supplement called Seratame might also help.

I have had RLS all my life in my opinion no one has a worse case than me. I can literally dig holes in a matters shred a sheet in one nite. Took requip it worked well for me. Over the counter remedy that works as well a prescription for me is about 1000 to 1500 Mg of Magnesium.

I have Restless Leg Syndrome & my last Doctor put me on Lyrica.
Even though they made me feel ill & the worst headaches in the morning she insisted I keep taking them.
I’ve also done a lot of research & Lyrica it’s definitely not a good treatment.
My new Doctor was absolutely horrified I was even prescribed them.
I’ll never ever take them again.
Horrid drug

My neurologist put me on Baclofen recently and from the first night I got total relief. I have had RSL for years and been on an assortment of different medication, Lyrica, gabapentin etc but have found the Baclofen the best so far. For the last 5 months I have only been getting 3-4 hours sleep a night due to RSL so I was in a pretty bad way. My neurologist also put me on anti inflammatory called meloxicam for two weeks only just calm everything down as I have spinal cord damage as well. Hope this helps, your GP could write you a script if you can’t see you neurologist for a while. Like all medication I think your body gets used to it so I’m always on the lookout for new medication. Although Requip didn’t work for you, it’s now on my list to try, so thanks for that.
Oh and the Baclofen is non addictive which is a bonus.
Good luck

I too have suffered for about 20 years now. It got so severe when I hit my 30s that I began to seek doctors help. They put me on mirapex and that worked for about 9 years but my body adjusted to it and it only made the symptoms worse. They then put me on requip and my body augumented to that very quickly within 6 months. Now I'm on gabapentin and it's not working at all I've had no sleep for 3 days. I understand what you're going through oh, I wish there was something that I could help you with. I've tried exercise, I've tried baths, I've tried quinine, I've tried every remedy there has been out there to try to stop the tremors but I have had no success. Sorry to hear you are also going through this, it's a very strange disease to have. Good luck

I have not had RLS since 8/2017. I had it for many, many years. I was told CBD Oil might help. I ordered HempWorx CBD Oil, 69.00$ for 500 mg CBD Oil and it lasts me 3 months. 5 drops under the tongue am and pm, hold under the tongue for 30-60 seconds, swallow, most will be absorbed(96-98% absorbency) You don't have to order it from HempWorx, just make sure it's grown and manufactured in the US, preferably KY, Organic, pure, no fillers added, pure CBD Oil, Non GMO, peppermint (organic) flavor or original. I started it and 8/2017 and I didn't have RLS after the first use that night and have not had it since. Over a year. Doctors could not do a thing and I was tormented with RLS and also have not had an antidepressant or anxiety since.

HELLO, I HAVE ALSO SUFFERED THIS TERRIBLE CONDITION, AND HAD NOT FOUND ANY RELIEF TILL THIS YEAR WHEN MY DOCTOR FINALLY TOLD ME ABOUT " SIFCOL " AND FINALLY RELIEF. THINGS WERE SO BAD I BOUGHT AN ELECTRIC BED, SO THAT I COULD SLEEP WITH MY LEGS RAISED. UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORK.
I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET A SCRIPT TO TRY SIFROL AND IT WORKS FOR YOU.
LEGS ACHE WITH THE COLD ??? WALKS, SHOPPING ???
I WAS GIVEN A BOTTLE OF
"PEPPERMINT REVIVING LEG GEL"
BOUGHT FROM THE BODY SHOP, AND I FEEL THAT IT IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. caring is sharing, sharing is caring, may love & compassion heal.

Greetings, I hate to hear you are having such a difficult time. I have been a victim of this torture for 30 years. There is relief, it just doesn't always work every time. Mine is a routine, I set in a hot tub before bed. I go to bed at the same time. No more than twenty minutes after my soak. I try wearing compression socks. I take 100 mg of tramadol and 10 mg of Ambien each night. Most physicians say not to use Ambien long term. Screw that, I doubt they suffer from RLS. I buy mine from overseas pharmacys. If I fall asleep fast enough, all is well. If not, it's a long night of pacing. I try everything new that comes out. Someone is going to figure this thing out. Hang in there, you will find a way. God Bless.

I am 52 years old and have severe RLS for 10 years. I was taking mirapex 1 mg for ten years but it had severe side effects i.e. Shopping spending
Over $500 k while making over $100 k per year. I am a recovering alcoholic whom had 10 years of sobriety before I started Mirapex. Nothing works now. My life is ruined because of my rls. I need an antidepressant now because I want to end it all if I can't fix this problem. My father was a well known General and Trauma Surgeon whom suffered this problem. I've tried gabapentin and tramadol nothing works for me. My boyfriend says if I go back on mirapex he will leave me. I have a lot to live for and an exceptionly successful son and a beautiful horse and I live in the most beautiful place in the world. ALL THIS BUT I HATE MY LIFE WITH RLS. MAKES LIFE IMPOSSIBLE. If anyone can please help me I am forever grateful and willing to try

I have been put on the Neupro patch... my RLS pretty much controls my life. I have been on most all of the regular medications for this. The patch worked great in the beginning, but now my symptoms are showing up more and more. Thinking I want to go back on the Pramapexol. For someone whose RLS isn't that bad, the patch might work well for you. I am also on Gralese. Doctor just added Tramadole which I am not really sure about yet. I have tried essential oils but I think my RLS is just to bad for that. Need to talk to my oil lady again. If the essential oils worked well, I would like to get off all other medications.
