I still had to take 10 mg Oxy before<br />I could sleep. My GP gave me Sifrol and it worked, I can lie down without the terrible urge to move. I also smoke 0,40 cannabis at night<br />and I experience some sort of tingling-sensation under my skull since I'm on Sifrol. Any recognize this? <br />I also take Seroxat/Paxil for 21 years now which safed my life back<br />then. I suspect it's some of interaction between the dopamine and serotonine you notice because of the THC.ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363554495058183132.post-31718237601191449212012-05-04T18:35:52.480+02:002012-05-04T18:35:52.480+02:00thank you, drew. unfortunatly since now all answer...thank you, drew. unfortunatly since now all answer i've got, is, that there is no interaction between atripla and sifrol.but maybe it's like a rattail...as we say. atripla has influence on my hormons and menstruation and this has influence on the rls. i'm still trying to find out.<br />my father s also an rls patient-as i said i suffer from idiopatic rls. he s taking sifrol too, but beeing 20years older than me, much more progression, he needs a high doses. so he has now a combination with other meds and thc. i'm near to ask for the same. at least before driving crazy. because i can't agree to take sifrol and still have the wish to cut my legs and arms of on bad days. <br />thanks for your good wishes- mmichèle meyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363554495058183132.post-79785810806984956072012-04-30T23:13:00.998+02:002012-04-30T23:13:00.998+02:00Hi Michele,

(i ges menopause is coming )during the menstruation(around 12days in 25!) i have heavy RLS, even if i take the double dosage of Sifrol... <br />are there other women out there with similare experiences?<br />thank you for every answer...MIchèlenoreply@blogger.com
