Gila, Welcome. Two commonly used drugs for RLS are Klonopin which is not directly used for PD but can be used by PD patients for Anxiety or seizure disorders and Sinemet. I do not know why it works. People on the list have complained of RLS but I do not know any figures on the comorbidity figures. Interesting question though.
