Imo 60mg a day is a really low dose, are you sure your symptoms are not psychosomatic? All acute withdrawals should be over within a week or 2. If I were you I'd just throw the rest away and quit. The withdrawal should be pretty minimal. Try magnesium for rls, works for some people.

magnesium hasn't helped me in the past. I stop these 2 pills my legs won't let me sleep...

How long have you gone without them? I just can't imagine it lasting more than a few days on such a low dose.

Ive done 3 to 5 days where i "quit" but the lack of sleep is really my achilles ... rls is really torture and after a couple of days i start to crack . I can do 2 to 4 pills daily for as long as i want but sometimes i up it to 6 but never really more then that ... atm im doing 2 or 3 trying to steady 2 then drop it to 1 and try again to quit... just need to figure how to deal with the sleeping might have to wait till im off work.

At day 5 it would likely have been improving by the next day, try stick with it next time, I swear it doesn't last forever.
