We're you able to get help with the dry mouth, burning tongue and receding gums? How bad is the RLS? Is it only at night? I developed neuropathy in my hands and feet in January and that's when the RLS started up. I've been on pain medication for 5 herniated discs in my neck and 3 in my lumbar and I'm still in chronic pain, but now the RLS is severe. It's in my neck and back too and arms. I have it all day and night. I have to keep walking and pacing. I've tried several medications and after a few days I get palpitations and chest pain. The one that helped a lot was a Parkinson disease medication called Benztropine but I had to stop it. Then The same thing happened when I increased the dose of my own pain medication. I went to my Cardiologist and told him. I was hoping he could prescribe me something that would enable me to take one of these medications and he didn't believe me. He said because I had chest pain in January then it must all be in my mind. I really need these medications. I have RLS really bad and I'm going through menopause. Why would I make it up. Then I took Lyrica and same thing happened to me. I stopped after two weeks. I've been going out of my mind with this RLS 24/7 and the palpitations, so I went back and took the Lyrica yesterday. I have a heart monitor on but I'm seeing a new Cardiologist on the 11th. I want to get off the Clonazepam so bad! I'm glad I went down to 1mg but I need to taper more. I find it hard right now with RLS and painful muscles. Do you get pain in your legs with the RLS? I use icy hot. Is Voltaren stronger? You're right no Doctor takes responsibility for prescribing Benzodiazepine for years and years. It makes me so angry. I'm so angry at myself too.
