Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
There are other options for the treatment of restless legs syndrome. However the trouble is that they are all drugs which act on the central nervous system. As such all of them can have potential side effects which are similar to the ones you mention with Requip and Mirapex, in particular the drowsiness is a common side effect. So there is no guarantee that the symptoms won't recur.
These other drugs include anticonvulsants such as Pregabalin and gabapentin, benzodiazepines such as Clonazepam, alfa-agonists such as clonidine.
You can try them, but in terms of efficacy Mirapex and Requip class of drugs are the most proven and side effects are similar.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
