Severe RLS solved for me

I appreciate your forthcoming with the trials of different reliefs to combat RLS. Many of us have tried different prescriptions, strengths, diets, angles in dealing with this dreaded disease, that many people have no clue how we are suffering. I was ashamed to admit I had it years ago, but have come out into the open to tell family and friends how it controlled my life. I see a sleep specialist doctor from Mayo in Phoenix, and she has been a god-send to me, prescribing buprenorphine tablet at such a small increment, about 1/3 of a 2 mg tablet nightly. My weight is slight and I control it with diet and exercise, competing in tennis and pickleball at nearly age 70. I do find having dessert at night triggers the leg spasms, and eat only a few bites when entertaining or dining at a friend's house.
Good luck to you, and we all wish you well.

Hi, can you share with me the compounding pharmacy you use for the buprenorphine. Thank you!
