Hey, I have this really bad. Around 7-8pm I feel like I want someone to pull on my legs hard and they get an antsy feeling where I cannot keep them still. When I then go to bed, my legs kick and jerk , my wife has complained about me actually kicking her in the shins and drawing blood from my toenails.

I have heard of medication, such as Dopamine agonists, but got concerned they might have other side effects.

May I ask what your Dr has prescribed to you>?
