A member asked:

Can you tell me if throughout the day what do i take for restless leg syndrome not to fall asleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Restless leg syndrom: You have to make sure you are not iron deficient and have a normal kedney function. You will need a medication such as Mirapex or Requip (ropinirole) which should not be sedating.
