A member asked:

Im 8weeks off off suboxone and on naltrexone still no energy and terrible rls .just started lyrica (pregabalin) &doc is slowly raising dose will this ever end?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask for specific : Treatment for rls. Narcotics such as Suboxone do a great job blocking rls. Naltrexone on the other hand can have the opposite effect. Your doctor should order a ferritin level to make sure that your total iron body stores are not diminished. I would not be surprised if you also have periodic limb movements of sleep which often accompanies rls. This can cause a great disturbance in sleep continuity and daytime fatigue and sleepiness. The treatment is the same as for rls.
