I had muscle aces and pains most of that time but near the end of the 3 weeks I would loose the use of my left arm for periods. I would feel faint and very weak. I have had restless leg since I was a child but my legs got much worse during the 3 weeks. Finally I remembered that if you had muscle weakness you were to stop Zocor so I did. The daily muscle weakness gradually went away but I developed severe restless leg and had to go on Requip. I also started having face spasms and “turrett” type spasms in my legs that would travel up into my arms and hands. My hands would clench and I couldn't talk plain. My head would jerk and my body would shake inwardly as if I were freezing. These symptoms were worse when I was stressed or got too hot. Eventually I had to quit my job, it was very high stress. Five years have past. I now stay home and garden and paint. I very seldom leave my home and my stress level is low but when I do get into a stressful situation I still have to deal with the “loss of control” over my body. My sleep is a nightmare every night. My restless leg syndrome is getting worse and I've had to increase my Requip and will probably have to do so again soon.

My cholesterol is very high and my doctor keeps trying to get me to go on some meds for that but I would rather die than add to the painful, exhausting struggle I go through now because of what Zocor did to me.

I have been on Temazepam 45 mg. @ bedtime for over a year, about 3 months ago it stopped working. This week my doctor stopped the Temazepam and put me on Seroquel 50 mg. @ bedtime. The first night I woke every 2 hours with BAD nightmares! So I tried two more nights just in case it needs a "working in" period: Well I still wake every two hours like clockwork and the dreams are so so real! I wake myself up talking! I don't know how much longer it will take (if ever) to get into my system. I just want to know if anyone else is having this problem and if I should call my doctor? All help would be appreciated.

Been on this medication about 3 months, but take it only at bedtime. I have Periodic Limb Movement and take Mirapex to stop the jerking at night, but have breakthrough movements. This medication was given to help me sleep thru those movements because taking more Mirapex was not a good option. Recent sleep study showed marked improvement. Also take low dose of Neurontin for neck pain. I read that some have tortured nights. That was me before the medication. Before diagnosed with the Periodic Limb Movement, if I took certain cold medicines or caffeine at night, my brain felt like a war zone, I was fitful and agitated, writhing mercilessly in the bed, stuck somewhere between awake and asleep. When taking Sinemet this happened if I wasn't real careful. Now I sleep pretty good for about 5 hours - almost a miracle. If you are a restless sleeper (not a wide awake insomniac) check for underlying sleep disorder before giving up on a pain med that is working for your pain.

I found out a few days ago that I have Fibromyalgia, a pain disease that has no cure and so far I have tried four different drugs to ease the pain a little , most days I can't walk or stand up straight. Last friday my dr prescribed ultracet two pills every six hours. I take them promptly each day. I have had no side effects but I have also not had any relief from my pain. I haven't noticed any difference or change in almost a week. I also take four flexeril a day and Mirapex at night , so far I haven't had any relief at all. I tried the hydrocodone but it knocked me out and I couldn't work or any thing but sleep.If any one has an idea I would like it if you could write back on this site and I will ask my dr. Thanx
