Yes, I, too, have had RLS for way overt 30;years. It started when I was about 20 yo. I’d never heard of it until I had a sleep study in 1996. Since then I’ve taken a mild antidepressant, Trazadone 100 mg. It works I think by calming my mind a bit. If I take on an empty stomach it puts me to sleep. There may be other drugs now.

@catstx I have mild RLS. Trazadone has been a Godsend for me for PTSD/insomnia. My ex had horrible RLS and REM sleep disorder which has a strong correlation to Parkinsons. Sleep regulation is so important!
