What's the best way to treat restless legs syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RLS: Before treating the symptoms of rls, it is important to make sure of the diagnosis. Low iron levels, among other factors can result in similar symptoms. Your physician can easily do blood work to rule out these causes. If it is rls, Dopamine agonists appear to be the most commonly effective class of medications (requip (ropinirole) et al.).
