Medical marijuana and restless leg syndrome

I’m a male , 71 years old and I’ve dealt with this since I was a kid. I could be the poster child for RLS. The only time I remember not having problems is when I was smoking a lot of pot. Currently I am taking Ropinirole er 6 mil tablets. Clonazepam and 10 mil methadone and I still cannot go to sleep without a battle at night. It’s really getting to me as two of the meds have depression as side effects and then the sleep situation causes depression as well. I haven’t smoked pit for a long time but I am desperate. Any help would be appreciated. I mean I kick walls when it starts acting up in my feet and arms as well. Like I said ….i could be the poster boy for RLS. Doctors love me because they’re pill pushers. I need help.

Like you, I have had RLS for MANY years. The only thing
that has given me some relief is pramipexole 0.50MG (prescription).
