A question I've been meaning to ask of my fellow smokers: Have you ever experienced Restless Legs Syndrome? Particuarly after you've quit smoking?

For those who don't know, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a condition that strikes when you're trying to go to sleep. Basically, as you fall asleep, your muscles spasm. It produces a pain that doesn't really hurt, but is VERY annoying and prevents you from falling asleep.

A couple of times when I have stopped smoking, I have experienced this. The worst was the first time it happened. I couldn't sleep all week. I was taking Advil, Tylenol PM, etc. The pain just wouldn't stop. Finally, after a week of getting about 2 hours of sleep (that's 2 hours ALL WEEK) it subsided. So I've always wondered if other herb smokers get it?
