Ask your doctor about your specific situation. What medicine are you taking for your bi-polar? Some make RLS worse.

Low dose opioids used to treat RLS may or may not be a problem, but I read that in general combining opioids and bipolar disorder can be contraindicated.
You may therefore face difficulty in getting a prescription.
