RLS has been a problem in the past.It has again raised its ugly head while detoxing from diazepam. I found it interesting to read that some have found that cannibis has been found to help. We have been able to grow it legally where we live. I am going to give it a try and post my experience in the near future.

If you're withdrawing from diazepam, RLS like symptoms might happen. Naturally it depends how much you've been taking, for how long and how fast you withdrew from it and how long ago that was.

It may be that once you're past diazepam, your RLS symptoms may improve.
