Default Restless Legs

I'm wondering if what I'm thinking is spasticity in my legs is really restless leg syndrome.

It happens every night. I get settled in bed and then it starts......that feeling that I have to move my leg(s). Sometimes it's just one but often it's both.

If I try not to move them they eventually move by themselves! It's not painful but it's incredibly annoying because they don't start this until I lay down and try to sleep. They get this tight feeling and my foot will flex and if I don't move them it's like the muscle goes into a sort of spasm and they move on their own.

I've been taking Baclofen every night before bed (10 mg) and just recently I've started taking 2 pills (making it 20 mg).

Does anyone else deal with this issue? What do you do for it?
