I don't smoke it, but... - Restless Leg Syndrome Message Board

I was just wondering if anyone knows if marijuana helps. I am desperate, I'm willing to try just about anything (if there's anything left to try, LOL!) I'm tired of taking Vicodin every night. I like to keep my Vicodin in case I have a kidney stone attack, and I'm afraid if I take it every night for this stupid RLS it won't help me with REAL pain anymore. I've tried everything I can think of. I don't know that even if someone said, 'yes, it works' I'd try it. Maybe it just makes it worse, heck I haven't a clue...thus my post.

Thanks!

Not sure about that but it may. I know alcohol makes it worse though. You never know until you try!

True. With my luck, I'd get some and totally get busted! LOL I think I'll wait to see what others say first. Anyone? Come on, I'm sure SOMEONE here has tried it.

Not sure if this is true but a friend of mine was smoking a little pot before bed on occasion and she said that it helped awesomely. I suffer from it to but too chicken to try, my xanax helps me some but on real bad nights I just ride it out.

I'm pretty chicken too, so I doubt I'll try it either! LOL
