If You Have Restless Leg Syndrome What Are Your Treatments?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Perryville, MD

I have been on Ropinirole for months, it was upped to 2mgs about a month or so ago but I still have these awful episodes where it feels like the insides of my knees are itchy and tense and the only thing that makes it stop is moving them. It happens during the day which really bugs me. Today my doctor switched me to gapapentin, I've been on that before for pain. I'm wondering what other people do or have done, and are they effective.

Magnesium lotion on my legs before bed helps me a lot.

I had restless leg syndrome and happened to get treatment for low iron, had iron injections and my restless legs went away. Was a pleasant surprise, not sure if it was a coincidence or not.
