It is an opioid and won't make your RLS worse and in fact will help them.

It will help your RLS. However, if you're on dopaminergic drugs like Ropinirole/Pramipexole/neupro patch, it would be better to reduce them and eventually get off them and the butrans patch will cover pain & RLS.

Not what you're looking for?
