i was taking 1mg klonopin and ropinirole which worked. then a doctor gave me a script for miraplex which i took with the klonopin and the twitches became worse. so then i immediately went back to klonopin and ropinirole and now that doesn't work anymore, the twitches are worse. so now im left...

before i started experiment with different herbal and medical solutions one way that helped me fall asleep was to move/shake my legs around. my twitches first started in the soles of my feet and i noticed if i flexed and relax my feet over and over the twitches would go away.moving around isn't...

same here with the neurologists being dismissive -- its only bfs, is the docs's response...."im only going crazy" is mine. i actually got more help from a cardiologist i see than the neurologist. he's the one that prescribed me the 1mg ropinirole and 1mg klonopin and also told me we could try...

ive been taking 1mg ropinirole and 1mg clonazepam. gets me through the night.

1) Kava St. John's Wort Skullcap Valerian Root Klonopin Nicotine 5-HTP/Meletonin 2) Kava/St. John combo (GNC brand. No longer being sold) worked great in the past, better than klonopin. Kava/St. John (Vitamin Shoppe brand) doesn't seem to have much effect now. Kava and St. John seemed to work...

First thing the doc (Pediatrician) gave to me was soma...or something or another. Took it, came back and told him it wasn't working. This is when it first started as minor twitches in the bottom of my feet, twitches between my thumb and index finger and twitches in my forearms. Anyway I told...

I talked to a doc about it and he basically told me to deal with it. The problem is medical people out there don't seem to take this serious. Even worse I have a non supportive mother who everytime I talk to about it tells me its all in my mind. I swear people like that make me want to beat...
