Restless leg syndrome

I posted a thread about lexapro a few days ago and a high percntage of people that responded mentioned RLS. RLS is fairly rare and not much is known about the cause or treatment. To those of you with RLS have any of you found ways to get some relief. Sometimes it doesnt bother me for months and then other times I get it severly for a few weeks. Benzos always worked for me, but I got addicted for 10 years and I really shouldnt be taking them. I tried requipe and that was awful. Didnt help the symptoms and I was awake all night, and groggy the next day. If any one has any suggestions I would be really grateful.
I am also curious to know if anyone has found things that might trigger it. I know it is neurological, but Sometimes I think certain types of food might be a trigger. If anyone has any suggestions I could really use some help.
