I've been taking tramadol since July 3, for an ankle injury. I've tried twice to come off of it. I was at 50mg 3x a day. Am I the only one experiencing restless leg with this? It is so bad that it wakes me, or keeps me from the 15 minutes of sleep I can get every three hours. How do I make this horrible feeling of restless leg go away? Thank you so very much I'm trying to taper off, both times I cold turkey were horrible. But the main issue I have is restless leg. The problem is I don't have enough to taper correctly and I go into the doctor on weds, do I ask for more to taper or are there remedies at home to kill this horrible feeling in my legs, I get at night?
This might help my grandma has restless legs and she takes magnesium this helps her at night, might be worth a try?
Thank you so very much!
aww your welcome
I found it began for me while still taking Tramadol when I mixed it with a OTC sleep aid containing Diphenhydromine. It worsened after stopping Tramadol cold turkey and what helped was wearing tight knee socks to bed. Normally I don't sleep with socks on because it makes me too warm, so I cut the toes off and it felt better and it worked.
Thank you so very much, I will try this!
I'm curious if it helps you a bit or not at all. If it worked, the I'd like to spread the word to help others.
I did not sleep with long socks last night, my body was so tired I fell right to sleep. But today, I am having leg issues so I will try then and let you know thank you for this advice

Socks, I'd love to know if the tight knee socks (with toes cut off or not) helped anyone with the RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME!! I am 11 months COLD TURKEY from that devil of a medication and I'm still here wanting to help others. It can be done!!
I'm not addicted, I've been off of the need for a week but still have bad restless legs. I did find that nurse compression socks are wonderful when dealing with the legs
Med not need
I do hope things get much better for you love. Hugs and prayers your way
