restless legs syndrome
"I'm lying here wide awake at 3:45 am on my 2nd night of trying to wean myself off tramadol under my doctors orders.  He gave me temazapam as a sleep aid and told me to go from 100 mg to 50 mg of tramadol plus 30 mg of temazapam.  Last night was okay, woke up feeling pretty good, but tonight I am back to being miserable because of my restless legs syndrome.  He's never had it, obviously. His concern is that I will require more as I go along.  I've been on 100mg tramadol for about 6 months.  I love that I can sleep, but I'm groggy during the day.  If I don't sleep, I'm groggy as well.  I prefer to sleep!  This RLS has been lifelong, since 8 years old.  Brothers and mother have it as well.  My middle brother just started tramadol tonight.  Will see what he thinks!"
