That’s fantastic your nearly thur the worst of it sleep is always the last thing to right itself but it will come xx my magnesium gylicatre I take 3 times a day.
Ok maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong, I’ve only been taking it once a day.
I get restless legs sometimes and I find some yoga stretches can be really helpful for a bit of relief.
This came up on YouTube with a search ‘yoga for restless legs’ -
There are loads more but this just goes through a couple of poses that you can do lying down so probably good for low energy!

Read the instructions as that’s what I was doing for first few days. X
A chelated magnesium is the best absorbing. Think the max is like two doses a day of 400mg. During withdrawl it may not help much in the beginning but may benefit after the 30 day detox. We all had about a month of a few hrs a night of sleep. U can exert urself with exersize and probably still barely get a few hrs of sleep. Just have to hang in there another day is another day closer to freedom.

Thanks for the advice … I was wondering about that magnesium… My god , This shits brutal man !! I’m going minute to minute here . I don’t even know how I’m doing it … the cravings are bad , atleast as bad as the rls … and I’m not sleeping at all… I’m seriously running on empty and STILL can’t sleep without kicking the bed sheets and tossing n turning for 7 hours . I now understand y soooo many people relapse. I hope I can keep going… today’s a hard one for me .

I know what it’s like I guess but really, as soon as you start rewarding your body with the strength it needs out of little bits of small healthy things. You need it and saves your shaky bud from +somewhat days feeling fucked. It works in the spirit and mind as wel just taking care of your vessal
Hang in there, you’ve gone thru the hardest part I hope

I’m personally slowly decreasing my dose over time and so far it’s all good. Like u said it served it’s purpose and now it’s time to say good by to it. To me quiting cold turkey is insanity it would put me in a dangerous position. I have a 30 day plan to detox from it. And it’s working so far.

That’s great to hear ! I went down to about 2mgs give or take … (I was cutting the strips and breaking the pills up to about that amount ) …I thought it was low enough but I guess it wasn’t .I was tapering down but at the rate I was going , along with estimating how long the half life stayed in my system I was gona end up being on them a whole lot longer than I wanted to be . . I’m on day 11 today .it’s an emotional process… u start to feel all the things u had been numbing urself of … people you lost … shit u missed out on… … the other day … no joke , I cried at a scene in the walking dead ! Lmao 
who the fuck cries watching THAT !! 
…. restless leg syndrome has been my biggest issue , along with muscle/joint pain and cramps, and well the insomnia is pretty bad too… whatever you do, if u can, get rid of anything u have leftover . bc the temptation to take urself off sick from those bitches is enough to drive u crazy. I woulda probably relapsed had I not gotten rid of them all. I was desperate for a sliver or a tiny crumb!! So it worked out for me that I flushed em all. And the support from everyone on this app has been great …
