What can i take for restless legs?

It would be prudent to see a doctor to assess any underlying issues that should be treated, rather than the symptom. You may need a prescription so seeing a doctor is imperative.

There are no successful OTC items, and best responses occur with dopamine agonists, gabapentin, Lyrica, all of which are prescription items. Do suggest a neurology consult and appropriate testing as needed to confirm. Most folks respond very well to appropriate medications.
