Restless Leg Syndrome At Night

Stockport, UK

How do you cope with restless leg at night?

What do you do that helps?

How do you sleep?

What do you take for it?

I'm having a nightmare with it. I want to cut my own legs off. The pain goes from my knee down.

Hi my gp has me on a tablet for restless legs. It's actually prescribed for parkinson sufferers but is also approved for rls. It's called Sifrol here in oz but the chemical name is pramipexole hydrochloride monohydrate. It definitely made a difference when I started taking it. I only take 1x0.25mg tablet at night about 2 hrs before bed. It can cause some drowsiness as well.

Have you had both potassium and magnesium levels checked? A shortage of one or both can cause restless legs. Dr. should approve taking them though, since they can interact with some meds.
