RLS & Melatonin
"Having problems with increasing RLS symptoms since my Dr added Melatonin to my protocol. I’ve heard it’s make RLS worse? Any ideas? " -@Wanman4
I, personally, haven't been prescribed Melatonin so I have looked for more information.
There is a study I am currently reading, "This result and those of other studies showing that melatonin exerts an inhibitory effect on central dopamine secretion suggest that melatonin might be implicated in the worsening of RLS symptoms in the evening and during the night" https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2011-08/restless-leg-syndrome-and-melatonin
But it also goes on later, " Then we might conclude that melatonin sometimes improves RLS symptoms and sometimes worsens them. In either event, moderating melatonin should be considered in patients with RLS."
Sounds like it differs from person to person. I hope that helps.
