Are you surly suffering form RLS. Normally many medicines would help like pramipexol, some benzodiazepines even some antipsychotic. However considering history that after stopping smoking this happened you should consult physcican to make yourself be examined that it is not withdrawal symptoms of smoking.If it is so propranolol like drug also helpful Sop go to doctor and take treatment after diagnosis.
