Is restless leg (RLS) related to serotonin syndrome? Tips for relief?

My daughter and I have both been helped by the new weighted blankets. Good luck!

RLS is a nightmare!
I just watched a few videos about RLS and BRAIN iron deficiency.
Both doctors pointed out that the iron supplement should be given as an IV.
Has anyone been treated with the IV iron?

A sleep study showed that RLS was preventing me from getting a restful sleep.,I was prescribed gabapentin and that seems to have taken care of the problem

I was prescribed a drug called Requip (generic: ropinirole) and it works beautifully to stop my legs from keeping me awake. Here's a link to information about this drug: https://www.drugs.com/requip.html

@snottykitty I took that for several years, and it worked well. However, it lost its effectiveness for me, and I had to replace it with something else. Prampexrole (sp?) now even that is becoming increasingly ineffective.
My legs are so bad that the RLS starts late afternoon and I can’t even sit for any length of time (when meds aren’t working).

I’m typing this in the early morning 5am and it’s dark so my spelling isn’t really clear lol 😂

On the non pharmaceutical side, I find relief by standing on a whole body vibration plate. I do this for 5-10 minutes after my evening hot tub soak, then for 5 minutes when it wakes me up. That usually buys me a quiet hour , sometimes two. I am supplementing with oral iron ( 50 mg. Elemental iron every other day. After 3 moths, there has been a reduction in symptoms by about 50%. It now doesn’t start until around 12 pm and will wind down around 3:30 am. At least I can manage 5-6 hours of sleep between the active times. I get my iron levels rechecks to see if I can keep going or if it’s time to back down.
I have taken Pramipexole in the past, now that is reserved for long travels. I failed Lyrica and Gabapentin. I may take a THC gummy if I have signs of a bad night and that does work well, but make me unmotivated to do much the next day, so that for occasional use

Inderal a/k/a propranolol stopped mine.

I’m glad it helped you! I had my back fused at 3 & 4 and I was recovering at home after several days in the hospital when I got bad restless legs and Gabapentin did not help. I tried Requip (generic Ropinerole) and then I could finally sit still and sleep. I take 2mg extended release in the morning, 1 mg immediate release at 3 pm and 2mg ext. release at 7pm so I can go to bed at 9pm and sleep. I am a very active person and now even after open heart surgery a year ago the Gapenpentin is working fine.

I had RLS some years ago and was prescibed Reqip 0.5mg at night. Solved RLS and helped me sleep at night.

Magnesium and a massager really help for me.
