your symptoms are due to medicine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Endone contains oxycodone, , which can cause the symptoms mentioned by you.
For restless leg syndrome, you can follow some methods like leg massage therapy, hot or ice pack application along with good sleep pattern.
Medicines do not have a very effective role in treatment of restless leg syndrome.
Some medicines which may be of some help include Dopaminergic drugs, Levodopa, Benzodiazepine, Tegretal, , etc.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken only under medical supervision.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
