I take ropinirole (requip/repreve) and it's been fantastic. You have to remember to start very low, like 0.5mg and work up weekly. Otherwise it can make you very sick. I only need 1mg. My sleep Dr told me to stay away from ALL over the counter sleep aids because most of them are anti-histamines based and aggravate RLS making it unbearable. Anti Psychotics like seroquel, prescribed for sleep can also aggravate RLS greatly because it blocks your dopamine.
There are lots of treatments for it now. Google RLS and look at some sites, they really helped me. There is a bunch of natural remedies and medical treatments available these days. I hope this was of some help to all fellow funky leg sufferers. It drove me NUTS for years!!!!!!!
