What are the best medications for RLS?

What are the best medications to deal with RLS?

  1. Thank you. I'm very active in terms of exercise. My doctor stated that my blood work does not show that I'm iron deficient.

    I have been reading and researching possible causes of RLS---and I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday.

    I'm curious as to how my doctor will treat me. This has definitely disrupted my quality of life.

    1. I'm glad you are making an effort to educate yourself about treatments before your appointment. Hopefully, that knowledge will help. Let us know how it goes, if you don't mind. I'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Hi . That is difficult to say for sure. RLS can have different causes, making each case unique. So, different people respond differently to each medication. Here is an article about the most common treatments: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/treatment. I hope it helps. Have you tried any treatments yet? Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
