Using cannabis oil for rls.

Have had restless legs badly the last couple of years. I have iga neropathy, kidney disease and after twenty five years of it am now on dialyisis. My rls became bad about eighteen months ago when I got anaemia. I have been on Sifrol. Recently have begun taking cannabis oil, 4ml twice a day. I have found it has curbed my legs during the day quite profoundly but when I get into bed at night off go the feet within ten minutes. I find Sifrol makes me fall asleep at a moments notice, add weird lines not conversations and a bit of sleepwalking thrown in. Had a nasty fall in kitchen in the middle of the night about ten days ago. I have looked at gaberpentin but it looks like a horror story. I get bad rls on the dialysis machine and its awful and goes on for three and a half hours, pure torture three times a week. Has anyone else tried cannabis oil and if so did it help or do you have any tips for me please.
