Does anyone know which sleeping tablets and pain killers make RLS worse? After fairly major surgery I was given sleeping tablets in the hospital and was up all night walking around with terrible RLS. I was prescribed amitriptyline to take home and it definitely aggravated the RLS.

Unfortunately amitriptyline is not tolerated by those suffering with RLS. 99% of RLS patients find it makes their symptoms much worse.
Amitriptyline made my RLS 1000% worse. My old neurologist seemed surprised but it's listed as a problem on every RLS help site.
