What are your best RLS remedies

Struggling. Can't sleep :/ did you know the phrase "kick the habit" came from early literature related to opiate withdrawl and restless leg. Anyways. It's still lingering and still intense. I just got out of an Epsom salt bath at midnight. I have rubbed them rested them, exercised them... Suggestions?

Kicking the Habit is from any of it like Booze too!! Yes try the Magnz, Calcium and Potassium it works good..Just go with the flow it will get better.
I know it easier said then done and the RLS is the WORST!! I got lucky this time around..Lay under a heating blanket it might help after Baths.

ugh, RLS was the WORST of my withdrawal symptoms too.
Here is what I did: I took Magnesium and Potassium supplements. Ate bananas (high in potassium) like I was part ape. I drank Tonic Water for the quinine. And then, I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Requip, which I took for about 3 weeks or so, it helps you sleep but read about it, It can cause you to fall out within 2 hours of taking it, and without warning, so no night time driving after taking it.
After 3 weeks, I was able to drop to a lower dose for a few days, then went off then and did not need them again.
I would lay on my legs, with them folded under me, until they tired out. I would bounce all day long. I know its miserable.
Best of luck!
