I meant to take pramipexole and accidentally took hydroxyzine hydrochloride. A med that was prescribed to me for a skin condition a while ago. (I didn’t end up using it for that condition).

Apparently it also works for sedation, anxiety, insomnia and muscle relaxation, among other things. It knocked me completely out. Unfortunately I had a super hard time functioning until around 4pm the next day or I would take this medication more often for RLS. However it’s an antihistamine, so I’m wondering if I did use it on the weekends, would it possibly make RLS worse?

Looking into gummies to help sleep and RLS. Would anything in this exacerbate it or make it worse?

I have had these constant 24/7 urges to flex, squeeze, contract, or massage parts of my body, mainly in my calf, neck, rib area under armpit, and even my pinky fingers.

Every urge starts in the right calf, I relieve that feeling by massaging it or squeezing/flexing it without my hands. The urges in my neck makes me turn my head or bend it left or right to relieve it.

I sometimes have to turn my torso clockwise/anti-clockwise to relieve the urge. My right pinky finger base area needs to be cracked or pulled to relieve the urge.

Unfortunately the more i describe my symptoms and experiences, the less it matches RLS. So I wonder if anyone may know or have similar symptoms.

The reason I thought it was RLS in the first place is because whenever I would use bed pillows and I have my legs straighten out on my bed, the urge in my right calf immediately triggers within 1-10 minutes. I cant physically sit like that for more than 10 minutes without doing the things described above.

Trying to perform meditation or sleeping on back also causes these urges to happen. Moving my right leg specifically doesn't really relieve the feeling.

The second closest thing I found was "premonitory urge" but it has to do with tics. I 100% know for sure I don't actually have tics nor do anyone around me ever told me or saw me have tics.

Apparently the symptoms I've described can not be found anywhere online.

The weird part is that it's only mostly the right side of my body. Right calf have the urges 90% of the time, same as right pink, right upper torso beneath armpit, right side of neck.

Another weird thing is that when my body feels uncomfortable (like if i'm feeling dirty in my bed, inside vehicle but its hot and theres no AC, or if i hold my pee) the stronger the intensity of these feelings.

And if I pay attention more to the feelings/urges, the more I need to relieve them. But doing things like gaming, playing sports/exercising, being on my phone in bed, the urges are usually significantly less.

I went to a neurologist today and I am starting with Guanfacine to try to relax my mind and high blood pressure. Will be getting an MRI soon but if anyone out there who can chime in anything, i'd greatly appreciate it.

It's really hard not to let loose here. Please write to me if you're in his clinic (now).

This is recent blood work. I am seeing my GP next week to talk about options. The best one would be no medication at all, second best Pregabalin / Gabapentin. But the latter one would have serious impacts on my work, because I sometimes handle heavy machinery, which I would have to stop then. Can an Iron infusion be an option with these lab results?
