Don't take Potassium pills unless your doctor does blood work on you. Steroids do lower Potassium, as salt is increased from the the steroids. That has happened to me. They usually can do a quick blood test for this. Before and after they do mine.

For leg cramps, I increase my Potassium with foods that are high in it, like bananas, potatoes, spinach, yogurt and many other foods.

Better for you. Google potassium in foods and get a list. Yogurt gives you calcium also. Calcium aids with sleep and spasms. Like the old Grandma saying, have a glass a warm milk before bed. That was because calcium relaxes and calms the nerves. Grandma never knew why. Even hot cocoa and milk works.
