Ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to try clonazepam. It is the least addictive of the benzodiazepines (easy to get off of, even after long periods of use) and one of its main uses is to treat restless leg syndrome while promoting a good night's sleep.

I take half of a 0.5mg tablet each night, and both my wife and I sleep well (I'm not flailing about and keeping her awake).
