Restless legs: Discuss with your doctor possibility of supplementing with klonopin, Neurontin (gabapentin) or sinemet, to help with sleep.

TOO LOW: Dose is too low at this time. Good beginning but there is a lot of room to increase up to a max of 4 mg a day.

Ferritin levels: See your doctor and ask him do a ferritin level on you. Sometime iron deficiency anemia may be the cause of your restless legs in which case you may need to be treated for your anemia.
