Brief Answer:
30-60mins!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. Normally, this drug starts acting within 30minutes after administration. I am sure this would soon start working effectively and you would be able to see the benefits. However, this is not the main drug for restless leg syndrome. Are you on any other medications for this?

I wish you well. Feel free to contact me if need be.
