A member asked:
Are amphetamines like dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) ever used to treat restless leg syndrome?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Treatment of restless legs are usually dopamine agonists SCH as requip (ropinirole) or mot apex or sedatives of the nervous system. Stimulants such as amphetamines should make the symptoms worse

Not very useful: Better drugs by far exist, and dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) would most likely be a bad choice. The best agents are dopamine agonists, rarely L-DOPA, and a variety of gabapentin analogues.
