    Love this article!………..Have kicked all of Western Medicine and Big pHARMa’s junk, but lastly, did not want to give up on 15 years of Klonopin…….. though I cut dosage back by half a year ago, and feel no negative side effects of having done that! Have tried bars of soap with no luck. Yes, I agree on the Mg. deficiency-cannot seem to get enough in me to stave off hand and leg cramps, stated taking liquid Mg.— taste is horrid, how does one organically down this? Klonopin does help me get to sleep at night, have tried Melatonin with moderate success….No one of my Western Med providers has given me any clue as to what to expect, how to get off off 1 mg. Clonazepam, least of all a natural/organic alternative……..Thanks for your insight and information………………………….

      Did you ever get off clonazepam? There are support groups online that can help you taper. Also, benzos cause akathisia, causing rls type symptoms. Chevk out the Aston manual. 🙂

  2. It is mercury poisoning. I had a mercury filling removed and wound up with massive mercury poisoning. My severe RLS became even more severe and became 24/7 and up my arm. After three days of detoxing with bentonite clay all of my RLS was gone. It returned with the removal of more fillings but they are all out now and the RLS is gone.

  3. It’s a funny thing about this. I get it when I eat bananas two days in a row. I’m wondering if it has something to do with too much Potassium or something like that ?

  4. I’ve had RLS for many years and have taken medication for it. It helps verywell, but I eventually went up to two pills at night. I recently went for a checkup with my sleep doctor ( I also have OSA), and she wanted me to get blood work to see if I might have low iron or B12. Apparently, if so, it could cause RLS. I haven’t gotten my blood tested yet, but had heard of the soap in bed theory and tried it. It’s been a week and I cut down to one pill and used the soap at my feet (Ivory). It totally works for me!!! My legs feel so much better. I have had the very slightest uneasy feeling in a week so far. So, as crazy as it sounds, give it a try. Place soap at your feet underneath he fitted sheet. Don’t worry about the soap moving out of position. I hope it works for you too! Good Luck!

    My RLS kicks in when I am very tired. What has helped me a lot has been standing up and stretching the tendons in my legs, backwards, sideways and forwards. Works every time for me but I’m mindful it may not work for everyone. I also take Magnesium L-Threonate which stops the cramps and muscle twitching, If RLS is really obstinate and I can’t relax in bed, I’ll take a few combination C Tissue Salts by New Era, they work instantly. I hope this helps someone.
