Hello, Rose! How are you feeling? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain.

Tramadol is very mild opiate, so most others are stronger and would likely help you more, even in low doses.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opioid analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

However, there are also higher doses of Tramadol available that your doctor could prescribe. If it's helped you before, then you may just need your dosage adjusted.

There are also medications available to help with your RLS, such as Pramipexole.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you. I have tried the paramiplexole with no results, just a headache and sleeplessness... Doesn't help at all.

There is an alternative to Tramadol that works the same way as Tramadol does and it's been used for years to help people get off opioids as well. Check seereviewsnow for information on Kratom. It's becoming more and more popular here in the US and I know several people who said they got the same pain relief and felt better than when taking Tramadol. That website lists several other sites that discuss Kratom, including a dot gov site case study.
