he can take super hot baths with epson salt before bed. also there is a light exercise my doctor gave me: laying on your stomach with your hand on your ankle pull you leg as far as you can toward your butt. it seems to release some of the tension. I also take Mirapex and it works well for me. I also have eaten bananas and that helps...google rls and see if you can find any other ideas. good luck

I have RLS - not related to withdrawal - and I take prescription Mirapex. It works great.  If your father is having trouble with RLS not related to opiate or other drug withdrawal, you may want to see your doctor.

Yeah, Mirapex is an Rx, Hylands is a natural supplement-sorry I should have stated that.

I think the one you are thinking about is called Hylands and it is a supplement.
