How Long Does Restless Leg Syndrome Last After Quitting—and What Can Help?

For many people going through withdrawal—whether from kratom, 7-oh, opioids, or other substances—restless legs can be one of the most persistent and frustrating symptoms. What begins as an uncomfortable sensation during the first few nights can often stretch into weeks of disrupted sleep, heightened anxiety, and physical exhaustion.

Why Do Restless Legs Persist After Withdrawal?

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological symptom during and after substance withdrawal. It’s often caused by a combination of factors, including:

• Mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium and iron)
• Dopamine imbalance in the brain
• Nervous system overstimulation
• Inflammation in the muscles and nerves

Even after the acute withdrawal phase ends, the nervous system can remain in a hyperactive state. This can lead to lingering restless leg symptoms like tingling, crawling sensations, or uncontrollable urge to move your legs, especially at night when trying to rest.

A Targeted, Natural Approach to RLS Relief

We heard from many people in recovery that they needed something extra to take the edge off of their restless legs. That feedback inspired us to develop Restful Legs, a supplement specifically designed to support individuals struggling with restless legs during and after withdrawal. This all-natural, non-habit-forming formula combines key nutrients and herbs known to support nerve health, calm the body, and reduce inflammation.

Key Ingredients and Their Roles

• Magnesium Glycinate - Essential for muscle and nerve function. Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form that’s gentle on the stomach. Helps reduce leg twitching, relaxes the muscles, and supports deeper, uninterrupted sleep.
• Iron & Zinc - Deficiencies in iron and zinc have been strongly linked to RLS symptoms. These minerals play critical roles in neurotransmitter balance and nervous system repair.
• Valerian Root- A calming herb that supports GABA activity in the brain—a neurotransmitter responsible for relaxing the nervous system. It helps quiet the body at night and encourages more restful sleep, without the grogginess or dependency risks of sedatives.
• Turmeric Root- Contains powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that help soothe irritated nerves and reduce the inflammation that may contribute to restlessness and discomfort in the legs.
• Vitamin B6- Helps regulate the nervous system and supports the production of dopamine and serotonin, two neurotransmitters often disrupted during withdrawal.

Supporting Your Recovery, Naturally

Restful Legs* is designed to help your body find relaxation again, especially during those early, difficult nights when your system is still rebalancing. With consistent use, these ingredients work together to ease discomfort, reduce restlessness, and promote more restful sleep throughout your recovery journey. If you’re still struggling with lingering RLS after quitting, know that you’re not alone and you don’t have to suffer through it.
