Hello, my husband has RLS and was using a neupro patch for almost a year and then it started producing blisters under the patch. His doctor told him to stop using them, but didn't prescribe anything else. His legs have started jumping again and he is getting no sleep.

Hello @schlagers, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear that your husband's doctor didn't offer any alternatives or suggestions other than to stop using the neupro patch. I'm wondering if @engelee, @juniemoon1 and others may be able to offer some suggestions or more information on RLS treatment.

Here are a few home remedies that may help some -- 5 Doctor-Approved Home Remedies for Restless Legs Syndrome: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/5-doctor-approved-home-remedies-for-restless-legs-syndrome/

Can you ask his doctor if there are any other treatment or medications that can be used in place of the patch?
