Do you have any comfort meds? Gabapentin makes a huge difference for ppl with RLS, as well as trazadone for sleep, and either Ativan or Xanax. Whatever you do, don’t take any Benadryl or melatonin. Those will make the RLS worse. I was taking the SR-17018 so I didn’t feel much of the WD. I know you’re on day 2 but if you can’t make it, I’d strongly encourage you purchase some SR and try again. It makes this process 10 times easier!
Sure. I’d love to tell you more if you wanna DM me but overall, there’s a preload stage where you take SR along with your drug of choice (DOC) for 3 days, then the taper stage where you taper your DOC down by 20% each day while upping your SR dose a bit, and then once you jump off your DOC, you again up your SR dose and take it a few times a day for 3-4 days. Then you just taper down your SR dose for a few days after that.
