Follow-Up: The first medication my doctor gave me was quinine!!! Nastiest tasting stuff I ever took!! Not to mention that it didn't help me at all! Second medication my doctor gave me was clonazepam 1mg...What a killer! 1/2 a pill knocked me out and I woke up with such a hangover! But by knocking me out, I suppose it did allow me to get some rest. But that hangover was hardly worth it! Now I'm seeing an Internal Medicine physician and his advised remedy is folic acid... Haven't tried it myself...can't really say I believe it'll work...I've become very negative about the meds and results. I will try the folic acid but I'm not hopeful. RLS is about a miserable thing!!
