restless legs

[LynnC]

I'm on Adriamycin, Cytoxan, and Neulasta shots. Had restless legs at night before treatment, but was able to control with meds. My meds are doing nothing now. Having bad sleepless nights. Anyone else had this problem with chemo and Neulasta? What have you done to help it?
Thanks, LynnC

What meds are you taking for it? there is a med for restless legs called requip. Don't know much about it but my doc offered it to me. I couldn't sleep at all though so I take ambien and don't even notice the restless legs anymore.

Yeah, I take an ambien when it gets too much for me...drives me nuts!!!!

I was taking benedryl with taxol/herceptin and had pretty severe restless legs. My nurses told me it was from the benedryl. Sure enough it stopped when I stopped taking behedryl. Perhaps ask about no benedryl, or a lower dose if you are taking it premeds.

Thanks for the replys. Here's a little more info. I'm not taking Benedryl. I've tried Ambien, Lunesta, Requip (use to help before the chemo), Ativan. Have used the Ambien or Lunesta in combination with Requip and Ativan with no results. Ambien use to give me a good night sleep, but not anymore. Lunesta did nothing.
