MEDICAL ALERT CARD
MEDICAL ALERT CARD
I, _____________________________, have Restless Legs Syndrome (“RLS”), a chronic, neurological condition primarily causing extreme discomfort in my legs (sometimes arms & trunk) and creating an irresistible urge to move. My symptoms increase when at rest or inactive, and typically decrease by voluntary movements of my effected limb(s).
ATTENTION: Healthcare Providers
✓ Be alert for symptoms described above.
✓ Continue patient’s treatment of choice or administer RLS medications prescribed by patient’s physician to control symptoms.
✓ Avoid use of restraints.
✓ Administer dopamine-antagonist agents with extreme caution. May exacerbate RLS symptoms.
The following medications (dopamine-antagonist agents) may cause significant worsening of RLS in some patients.
Administer with EXTREME CAUTION:
← Anti-nauseates—Benadryl, Antivert, Atarax, Bonine, Compazine, Phenergan, Thorazine, Tigan, Trilaton, Vistaril, Reglan; suggested alternatives: Anzemet, Kytril, Zofran
← Anti-psychotics—Haldol, Loxitane, Mellaril, Moban, Navane, Prolixin, Risperdal, Serentil, Stelazine, Thorazine, Vesperin
← Atypical Neuroleptics—approach with caution: Clozaril, Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa; suggested alternative: Abilify
← Anti-depressants—ALL can cause RLS worsening; possible advantage with Wellbutrin, trazodone, desipramine, Serzone
← Anti-histamines—BEWARE of ALL, especially Benadryl & OTC/Rx combination cold/sinus/cough medications: Actifed, Comtrex, Contact, Dimetapp, Triaminic, TheraFlu, Vicks cough syrup, Tylenol PM, Excedrin PM, Bayer PM, Sominex, Unisom;
