RLS Treatment Options with Dr. William Ondo
Q: Which medications are first-line therapies and what are dopamine agonists? And more importantly, what is augmentation?
Dopaminergic medications can be very effective for the urge to move and leg kicking, but long-term use is complicated by augmentation, where symptoms start earlier and spread to other body parts; thus, we often shift toward alpha-2 delta agents and iron optimization as part of a broader strategy, reserving dopamine agonists for carefully timed use when needed.
