Brooks-
Carbidopa & levodopa are often used in combination to treat Parkison's disease. Many drugs used to treat Parkinson's have also been used effectively in treating RLS/PLMD. I e-mailed you a site with more detailed information including side effects and cautions. Hope this is helpful. Best always.
