Question:
Can you take medicine for restless legs after surgery?

I take Requip or Permax, both of which make me vomit now. How will the new pouch handle such medicine? Anyone have experience with this? Please Help!    — [Anonymous] (posted on April 25, 2001)

I also take Requip for Restless Legs Syndrome and have been able to take it successfully since my fourth day post-op. You might have to experiment with the times you take it so that the Requip is not competing with food for the limited pouch space. I have never experienced nausea or vomiting with it either pre-op or post-op, but if I did I think I would check with my neurologist for other possible medication options.

I take Permax for restless leg syndrome. I took it day four after surgery and have had no problems. I have never experienced nausea or vomiting with it either. I hope you don't experience any further problems with it. Good luck!
