In view of the latest information I have seen the serum ferritin level of 200 sounds a bit conservative. It seems that you could go higher if the RLS symptoms don't cease at 200. 300 is suggested as a high limit but even a bit higher might help with a doctors supervision.

You can quote Doctor Buchfuhrer to your doctor as an authority for agreement for higher levels than 200.
