Restless leg syndrome.. Kicking drugs... what will help are a couple of things.. walking is very beneficial as is Hot baths/showers.. also eating bananas has been known to help.. I added a knock off of a product called Hylands restful leg you can get it at a drug store.. It helped.. also tonic water has been known to help for the quinine it has in it.. I can not say how long it will last as it verys in many but the worst should be over in about 5 to 7 days.. just an estimate.. I'm sure others will be on with more suggestions.. If you are feeling this you have decided to regain your freedom.. for this I congratulate you.. lesa

i had violent leg shaking for a good week.  Legs would KICK about every 30 seconds.  It will pass and i think it must be the drugs working it way out of your body.  Take care and let us know how you are doing eh?

RLS and yes it really ***** what worked for me is that I wrapped my legs in an electric  blanket tightly

how long did it take you to get to feeling good again?

For me, the worst of the leg aches & pains and strange discomfort lasted about a week. For the next couple weeks it was present but bearable, and decreased in fits and spurts: one day OK, the next day more noticeable. As others have reported, hot baths helped me a lot.

I honestly think that it's safe to say that everyone endures a lot of smilar things, but the length of time it takes to feel "better" truly varys for each different person. I hope that makes sense, and once again - CONGRATS on doing this!
