I got cough medicine today for a bad cough. After about 15 minutes, my legs started to go nuts. Couldn't sit, couldn't stand, nothing. This lasted 15 minutes. All of a sudden the symptoms stopped. Thank God. Anyone every experience this. I am afraid to take my second dose.

Look for one that just contains Dextromethorphan which is safe for RLS.
