I've done some searching online, and Canadian Pharmacy tells me it's only available by prescription. Must be something with a similar name I'm thinking of. I remember it was a back pain reliever, and I was thinking of buying it, but got hustled out of the door by my Mom, and didn't.

Cheers,
B.

I currently have a stash of Nasal Aire II cannulas in Small or Extra Small. Please PM me if you would like them. I'm interested in bartering for something strange and wonderful that I don't currently own. Or a Large size NAII cannula. :)

I have suffered with RLS my whole life and have tried everything available including requip, mirapex, neurotin, senimet?, and something called dostanex. They only thing that works for me is a mild pain reliever like Darvon.

On a different note, has anyone noticed or know why a lot of people who have OSA also have RLS??

Thanks,
David
