This is certainly laudable but my concern is that it will make it difficult if not impossible for those of us who suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome to avail themselves of what has proven to be the only effective medication for this disease. While the name of this disease Restless Leg Syndrome does not sound dire I who have suffered from it for 40 years can assure you that its impact is devastating and that using various forms of Opioids is the only thing that has allowed me to live a normal life. Please remember in considering this legislation that there be a caveat for its use in treating Restless Leg Syndrome.
