Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

LOL! I guess if you kick you'd probably wake yourself up in the process. I only kick right when I'm drifting off to sleep, or if I'm in the middle of a vivid nightmare. Otherwise, I bob my legs up and down throughout the day and can't keep them still. Friends have offered to break my knees for me before. Guess the daytime RLS bothers them more than it bothers me.

Watch out for that Klonopin. It is rough stuff. I took it for a year and kicked it cold turkey. Took me a month of nasty DTs to get it out of my system. My legs and back hurt so much during that month, and I was dizzy constantly. They also perscribe it for cocaine addiction (in a sense similar to being prescribed methadone to kick heroin) for addicts getting off of coke. Stevie Nicks (from Fleetwood Mac-- remember her? I'm dating myself! ) writes about getting off of Klonopin after she had been addicted to coke, then addicted to the Klonopin for years. Be careful with that stuff.

You have a good idea-- I'm also thinking of cutting the nortriptyline in half, but it's the capsule type of pill with the powder so I'm not sure how much mess it's going to make. But if I take a 25 mg pill it lasts me for 3 days of zombieness and 3 nights of sleep, so I might just take it every 3 days.

I'm going to have to start attending meetings soon for my part-time job, seeing the clients and making on-site appearences, so I can't afford to be a zombie, but I really need to get some sleep amid the stress too. Benedryl works fine for sleep for me, but I still bite and kick. Same for Soma. Probably the only thing other than the nortriptyline that works with regard to the RLS is (*shudder*) alcohol. (!!) Not sure I want to go that route tho!!
