I have suffered with Restless Legs for years. Due to an injury i have to take Co-Codomol on a regular basis. I now find taking Co-Codomol at night just before bed has cured my RL

Yep, opioids ( and codeine) will help enormously.

I think i just answered you on another post from you. We like to call any medication that works, a treatment as its not really a cure. May it continue to give you relief.

I`d try it, but it`s addictive & can clog up the bowels.

you should, never had any trouble with the bowels. Having said all that i have given up the alcohol and cigarettes which can effect the RLS

Was'nt sure what Co-Codomol was, looked it up.If I could get a Dr, to prescribe it for me It would work. When I broke my achillies tendon and got a 30 day supply of Norco it helped my RLS greatly.However I can't find a Dr. who will treat me with a narcotic.I see a neurologist but he just keeps going up on my requip.I am up to 2.5 mg three times a day and 4 mg at bedtime,and even that doesn't allways help.Can't find a doctor who really understands RLS.This RLS has made my life miserable.

Please be careful though, I found Co codomol helped at one point but as it seems like other meds it stopped helping after a while and leaves you back where u started
