I had RLS & my internet at Mayo prescribed 500mg Vitamin C & 25 mg slow release Iron. After many years of going to ER for terrible RLS and getting Ativan . I haven’t had an episode for 6 yrs—go figure.

Wow! I'm assuming that your ferritin was low at that time? How is it now? My ferritin wasn't in the single digits, but it had dropped by 50% in 6 months (80's to 40's). So, I'm also taking iron/vit C. At this point, the neuro said he wanted to concentrate on getting the symptoms under control, then we'll concentrate on the iron.
