currently have addiction to pain medication can rls be a symptom
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH VICODIN, IT'S LONG TERM USE, AND RLS. I HAVE USED VICODIN FOR 7 YEARS FOR CHRONIC PAIN. MY DOCTOR HAS AN ODD SENSE OF HUMOR SO TRIES TO TAKE ME OFF OF IT EVERY FEW MONTHS. WHEN SHE DOES, I HAVE ALL OF THE CLASSIC WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. 100% OF THE TIME I ALSO DEVELOP RLS, WHICH GOES AWAY 100% OF THE TIME WHEN I AM PUT BACK ON THE VICODIN. NOT SURE IF THAT HELPS, BUT THERE DEFINITELY IS SOME KIND OF A CONNECTION.
