Jay,
Restless legs are a very common after detoxing from opiates..Sometimes it can ease up after a week or so,while other times it can be ongoing for awhile..I would suggest that if the banana's or the potassium magnesium combo dont work for you then you should contact your doctor about possibly getting an Rx for the new drug thats out for restless leg syndrome called Requip..Let me tell you it works wonders..I know several people that had VERY major restless leg problems that were interfering in their sleep and everything and they dont have those problems anymore..Its not a narcotic or any kind of mind/mood altering drug so you should be fine to take it...I would wanna go with either that or the old fashioned Quinine Sulfate for the restlessness in your legs..Trust me both are great..Though I would only reccommend you try either of these only if you continue to have to problems for an extended period of time,they start to interfere with your sleep thereby causing problems in other areas of your life and only after discussing these options with your doctor to make sure there would be no problem for you to take one of these two medicines..I hope this is something that will go away soon on its own though..Maybe you will get lucky...Good Luck and all that...
