There are medications available for RLS.
Usually started with a class of medications known as Dopamine agonists. We typically prescribe pramipexole at small doses to be taken in the evening. Based on the response of RLS, the dose can be titrated.
Next Steps
avoiding coffee in the evening, having a good sleeping etiquette will help. Iron supplements offer modest help if iron deficiency is co existent.
