Brief Answer:
Other drugs or combinations should be considered.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since Percocet and pramipexole are working only partially, other possibilities should be considered.

It needs time to find the appropriate drug or drugs combinations that may work the best for you.

Other drugs to consider include pregabalin, gabapentin, clonazepam, etc.

Combinations also may be necessary, for example, clonazepam and ropinirole.

If you suffer from Iron deficiency, it should be corrected too.

Discuss with your Doctor about trying new drugs about your restless legs syndrome.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
