You could try other drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If the dopaminergic drugs you used to treat restless legs syndrome stopped working suddenly, its quality needs to be evaluated.
Other possible treatments for restless legs syndrome are: Benzodiazepines (Diazepam), certain anticonvulsant drugs ( Lyrica, Gabapentin), and other dopaminergic drugs ( Levodopa).
I suggest you to discuss with your primary care Doctor the possibility of a new treatment with above mentioned possibilities for your condition.
