Restless Legs - Any suggestions as seen many doctors and medications

@3dogs welcome, you have come to the right place for all kinds of suggestions.
I have had RLS for years. My neurologist gave me PRAMIPEXOLE and I’ve used ROPINIROLE. Both worked great until my body got used to them. I still take the PRAMIPEXOLE but have had up increase the dosage. It works fine for now.
I believe RLS has a genetic component to it because my grandmother had it, and my sister has it.

Try a couple of Tylenols at bedtime

I've tried both and had an unacceptable reaction so cannot take. But FYI the reason you need a higher dose is because they can make RLS worse, so it's probably become worse, and you need a higher dose. When I first read about some medications that can make it worse, I asked my doctor and he said yes, but they don't really know what dose starts making it worse, so they start you on a low dose. Didn't matter for me as could not take it but found it worrisome that the medication that helps can makes it worse to where you will always have to take and at higher dosage. I've tried so many things that I'm hoping someone has something new to try....LOl
