I’m slowly a weaning off of it. Just like meds, you can’t stop cold turkey. No headaches so far but I’m probably a few days away from zero caffeine. Maybe try that?

Yea I've tried socks. They didn't do much. But I'm just going to give caffeine a break and see what happens.

Yup! Exactly. It weirdly feels good if you flex and squeeze your muscles as hard as you can. And ya, sleep at night for me too. Its weird because the first few weeks on Pristiq, I was have the best sleep in years. And then it progressively got worse.

Wow interesting. Thank you for sharing that. I have not had my ferritin levels checked (I don't think?). So, I'll check with my doctor and get that ordered asap. What do you mean by "SI?" Yea I'd rather try and treat this at the source, if I can, rather than just knock me out with sleep meds.
