I was given ropinirole (Requip/Repreve) by my sleep doc. It literary works straight away. The other added bonus was it improved my depression out of this world. One problem though, it made me nauseated day and night, which I put up with for around 3 months because I felt so good. I couldn't get up to 2mg though, because I would vomit. So I stopped it cold turkey and had no side effects, withdrawal wise at all, except for instant funky legs again. Most of the stuff I read was people getting terrible augmentation from DA's, rebound RLS but worse while taking them, which defeats the purpose if you ask me but, WOW for depression!!
RLS.org is a good place for info if you haven't already read their boards.
I have found both diazepam and clonazepam to be the most effective for RLS. These will most likely cause withdrawal when stopped but if done properly, it should be ok.
Oxycodone and pure codeine, most opiates actually are good as well, but addictive too.
I use clonazepam now for multiple reasons so I don't have to worry about it at all anymore. Good luck.
