Restless leg syndrome- HELP.

Kaitlin • Wife to SB. Mommy to PB and LJ.
Hi all. For awhile I've struggled severely with restless leg syndrome. I went to my first baby appointment yesterday after finding out I was pregnant. She pulled me off my RLS medication and put me on benedryll to try. She said if it didn't work she would like to do ambien (a sleeping pill). It is in the same class risk wise as my medication I've always taken for my RLS. My current medication helps so much. I tried the benedryll last night and was up all night long with twitching legs. While the benedryll made me incredibly sleepy, it didn't do a thing for my legs. So I was up all night jerking and hurting. I plan on calling her today about trying the ambien. She hasn't heard of my current medication so even though it's in the same class, does not want to try it. Have any of you ladies had ambien? Did it help? Any tips on how to help me deal with my extra severe RLS? Thank you so so so much!
