The RLS is bad and is very difficult to deal with taking hot baths or showers does seem to help and try and not lay in bed if you can't sleep get up and move around and then maybe try again a little later. Its hard we all have been or are there now YOU WILL BE OK just stay focused and keep going.

Your adrenal gland is starting to kick back in (drugs suppress it).  All that adrenaline is keeping you awake and firing up your legs.  It takes time for your body to learn how to control its adrenal function without drugs.  

This is something we all had to ride out.  I took hot bathes and benedril...but, it was time that I needed.  Again, quitting is a process, not an event.  The process builds slowly but you will be very happy when you get through it.

My legs are killing me too.  I was sleeping until 2:30 and had to get up. I think that I am going to take a hot bath and then try to go back to sleep.  Good Luck!
