"i too take it at night for insomnia and do get rls sometimes. however if i go to bed within 1 hour after taking it, i don&#039;t get the rls , i&#039;m sleepy by then anyway. what i really like about this medication is when i do wake up during the night, i fall back to sleep within a few minutes. only downside i&#039;ve found is it&#039;s kind of hard to wake up in the morning sometimes. it also helps keep my moods steady during the day and i don&#039;t have as many anxiety episodes."
