@robtlhughes, I changed the title of your discussion to hopefully bring in other members who have used it to treat burning leg symptoms at night. Has your doctor recommended the Carbidopa-Levodopa for your burning legs at night?

I've been taking 100 mg at bedtime for a couple days. I'll take it for a week to see if it helps. The doctor, I think, suspects restless leg syndrome might be a work. I'm skeptical, but think it's worth a try, but for no more than a week. The medication is usually prescribed for Parkinson's Disease and restless leg. I've not heard of its use with peripheral neuropathy which is why I posted my question.
