Suggest Medicines For Restless Leg Syndrome Without Any Side Effects

I have been taking Ropinirole for RLS / WED for one week. The side effects are building up and am almost bed bound. I want to give the medication chance to reduce the spasms in pelvis, legs, arms, hands and jaw as I m so exhausted from lack of sleep. I now have blurred vision and very light headed on top of the increased general neuro stimulation. Please can you advise. With kind regards Eileen (I am a 66 yr old female)
