Suffering From RLS For Years. Taking Methadone. Options Other Than Methadone?

My name is Morgan,
I have had RLS (restless leg syndrome) for 55 years and I've hated it.
The only thing I know that works is methadone. But I often run out of methadone because it is a controlled substance.
Is there anything else you could recommend to CONTROL methadone, other than methadone?
Thank You and Best of Luck,
Morgan

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The restless leg syndrome can be helped by taking an anti anxiety drug with a low daytime sedation. Doing mind and body relaxation exercises like yoga will also help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
