Very interesting! However acceptance does not yet mean it is approved. Looks like they are targeting January, 2025.

It also looks like there are several unconventional options for treating refractory RLS:

Aripiprazole, a Novel Option in the Management of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Patients with Augmentation and/or Severe RLS Symptoms: A Report of 4 Cases: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/378...

There are others that I came across as well.

Yes I am aware of that but it can also make it worse. link.springer.com/article/1... And it can cause ICD drugwatch.com/abilify/lawsu... So it is a mixed bag.

bummer. i think better treatments could be found for this that work long term. Its just that it doesnt get as much attention because its not immediately life threatening.
