I am taking flexeril for the rls and it seems to help me. I am on day 11 and was having very bad rls at night.  I did buy some Valerian Root and it also helps with sleep. I only took 1/2 flexeril last night. I hope to take none tonight.  Trust me as horrible as the nights are at first. Every night gets better.  You are doing GREAT! Keep going !

it may.  I was doing some research on it before I realize it was due to my drug usage and found that for a long time it was the only treatment most drs prescribed.  There's more out there now (at least going by the commercials).

If you have a DR that understands you could ask for clonidine and quinine for the legs, he may give you some valium like 10 to help sleep.
