the condition always presents itself at early evening, usually when watching tv. The only draw back of it is that it takes 2 hours to work for me. So if i wait until bedtime to use it, I am usually awake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until my legs calm down. It would be nice to have the med work faster as I only want to take the med if i need it.
