Restless legs now after taking potent antibiotics

Posted by bborth @bborth, May 5, 2020

I posted here before about some of the CNS issues I am now having ever since taking a combination of antibiotics after a surgery this past fall. Again, I never had this issue either until taking this medication. It hasn't always been bad, but the past 4 weeks or so it really is hindering my ability to sleep much. Wondering if others have dealt with this, and how to remedy. I have Gabapentin to take, but it helps somewhat, but also leaves me really hung over the next morning (on top of the other fatigue/brain fog I have). Taking magnesium as well. I go to the Mayo clinic next week to get this whole adverse reaction I have had to the antibiotics, and this symptom is certain one that has been brought about because of it. But getting really desperate for sleep now.

Hello, @poppy1968 ~ Ropinirole HCL 0.5 mg. works like a charm for me. My P.C.P. writes my prescription so that I can take a tablet twice a day if needed but generally I only need one. It works immediately for me (no wait time to get through my system).
I sure hope you are able to get some relief and more importantly some good sleep. Nights are pure misery if a solution isn't found.
Peace to you!
