Thanks for your help, I'll try the tonic water and will see my GP if it doesn't work.

Try a glass of tonic water about an hour before bed cos it has quinine in it and that helps rls

I used to get real bad restless legs at night. I happened to be low in iron and got injections and randonly my restless legs stopped. Not sure if it was to do with low iron but i was pleased it stopped. Maybe get your iron levels checked?

I found out that Benadryl, coffee, antihistamines and some antipsychotic meds contribute to restless leg. I was taking Benadryl to sleep so I changed that to loratadine and melatonin and no coffee after 3pm and it helped a lot. google it and you might find the answers you are looking for. Just keep in mind, what works for me may not work for you.

I also take ropinerole for my restless legs, have for years.
