YEAHBUT,oh boy seems like I'm heard that for 30 yrs,by my 3 30
year old kids..Not about dope,just yeahbut..Well Cindy got a pretty
goos idea, Gabapentin sub for Neurontin it worls for ms,pn and many
other problems..The Ibunrofin make sure you take with food or milk.
Have you spilt the Darvocet,cut it in half,may not make you so dizzy.

Where am I??? Well doesn't matter getting my excersice,,Ok bye to
the most gorgeous,you know who you are..Well Hugs Sue

Sue that is where the yeahbut came from for me! my girls seems to say that all the time and it drove me crazy! They thought it was really cool though when I put it on my license plate and my email.... and they are 20 & 17!

Good idea that's what i'm trying to teach my 10 month old Grandson..
Ha hope it works..Hugs to you all,Cindy is that you lambchop???

I used Neurontin for over a year, 900mg a day, without side effects.

I also have used Valium (OK, can't remember how to spell Diazapam...uh..Diazopam, no...it is....sorry, having a morphine moment here) -- Those are the two I have used. My RLS went away for 4 years, just came back.

I now take Neurontin every evening -- 300mg. Seems to be working. When it REALLY gets me, I use my Oxycodone. But I have been on Avinza and used Oxycodone for a couple of years, so the Oxycodone does not put me to sleep.

Good luck with it...

Cindy, I know the answer to this question but I will let you answer since she directed the question to you......


Do you take the Valium for the RLS? My dad has just been dx with this... I don't know much about it but they haven't given him any drugs for it yet, he has to go to another doctor for that.

RLS seems to be helped most by Neurontin and when it REALLY is bothering, like 2am with no relief in sight, I use Oxycodone. I have not used Ox. in a few weeks, as I am trying to keep my opiates to a minimum.

I tried LidoDerm pain patches for RLS, no help.

I have used Valium for muscle cramps, when Qualiquin is not available. It seems to relieve the muscle cramps quite well, but who can really say about any med giving specific relief?

Example, I think I am going to have back pains tonight because I dug in the garden today, so I will take 30mg of Ox. And I get to sleep just fine. Now, did I really "Prevent" back pain, etc. by taking Oxycodone? Or maybe I wasn't going to have bad pains anyway?

I take the 300mg of Neurontin as a maint. medication. I keep enough in my system to override RLS and if it "breaks through" the 300mg, I can still take Ox.

Anyway, it works for me so far.

You didn't mention any health issues or age with your dad. I was
57 when they gave me 900mg a day. Every human is different, so whatever he gets, they will probably start him on the low end.
