Stay in Step With Treatments for Restless Legs Syndrome

Dopamine agonists (ropinirole, pramipexole, etc) are no longer first-line for restless legs syndrome (RLS).

RLS is uncomfortable urges to move the legs or arms while at rest. It may be linked to low iron levels...but often has no known cause.

Dopamine agonists work quickly to improve symptoms. But they’re linked to side effects...such as nausea, drowsiness, and hallucinations.
