Thanks so much for your reply. I needed to hear that, the negative thoughts are relentless and every time I try to be positive, that voice is there saying "what's the point", it's driving me nuts! But I take my tablets every day, I try to use the coping mechanisms that worked before, it's just exhausting. The restless legs started a few years back and gradually got worse to the point I'd have no sleep at all some nights. The docs gave me codeine but then after a while they wouldn't give them to me anymore (addicitve). I was on venlafaxine 8 years ago but the doc had to take me off them as they caused high blood pressure and I feel it was around that time the restless legs started too.
