Q. i have restless legs at night . could someone help me with what meds i should take

A. It sounds to me like you have Restless legs syndrome (RLS). The most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms. As a result, most people with RLS have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. I've heard that the way to treat RLS, with mild to moderate symptoms, is prevention. Certain lifestyle changes and activities can reduce or eliminate symptoms. Decreased use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco may provide some relief. Sometimes Physicians suggest that patients take iron, folate, and magnesium supplements. There are also a variety of medications that can be used to treat RLS, however, as most of these medications require prescriptions, I suggest you go see your Dr. about this condition.
