Hi,

You are right symptoms of RLS can be distressing. If you are not happy with ptqminex, there are other options for RLS, for example, opioids like Tramadol, or Gabapentin, and Clonazepam.

So you can discuss this with your doctor as all these drugs are prescription only drugs. Besides symptomatic treatment, certain causes of RLS should be first checked for like anaemia, uraemia etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
