Suggest Treatment For Restless Leg Syndrome

My question is, what OTC or prescription drug can help with suboxone W/D symptom such as the RLS/restless arms? I have been on suboxone for almost 2 years, current dose is 2mg daily. The RLS causes lack of sleep, this is the reason I could never fully come off. Please, I need help. My Sub is not perscribed by any doctor, due to my pararesis conditon. Meaning I can not urinate on command when I know people know I m trying to use the bathroom. Most drs don t believe in my condition, and believe I m lying about it. Witch I have no reason to lie to a doctor when I m asking for help. Please help if you can.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Restlessleg syndrome. There is no cause for this disease but usually it is due to over activity of the brain. I would suggest you to get your serum B 12 estimation as some time this can cause RLS. Meanwhile I have following suggestions for you.
1. Try to sleep at a fixed time, avoid late night sleep. Avoid coffee in night time.
2. If you would be my patient, then I would suggest you Amytryptalin daily.
3. Capsaicin ointment local application will also give relief.td
4.After B 12 test is done you can also take Methylcobal tablet daily.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
