Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor
Regarding your concern I would recommend you as follows:
Try to avoid substances or foods that may be causing or worsening the problem such as alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. This may help relieve your symptoms.
If you have underlying medical conditions, such as anemia, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, kidney disease, thyroid disease, varicose veins, or Parkinson's disease, should be treated. Dietary supplements to correct vitamin or mineral deficiency may be recommended.
You are actually taking treatment for it.If it doesn't work you can change it in Xanax 5 mg orally or Hydrocodone or Gabapentine.These are drugs that may help as a second choice regarding your concern but please first discuss with your doctor for the above.
Hope to have been helpful
