I don't actual have restless leg syndrome but something similar. I get hypnic jerks that effect my entire body all night. They keep me awake for hours, frequently all night. My doctor put me on clonazepam and when thatdidn't work he recommended some kind of medication for Alzheimer's .I'm only 28!!! someone told me magnesium was worth a try so I gave it a shot. It worked that night

I found the addition of magnesium (500 mg) at night has cured my restless leg syndrome and as a bonus has worked at a gentle laxative. I have always had problems with constipation so that was very welcome. I still don't know which is the best magnesium to take.

My restless leg returns when I have not had enough exercise - so I return to walking and resume taking Magnesium. I have had RLS off and on for about 15 years and it comes and goes and I know what to when my husband goes crazy from the electrified leg -
