RLS sensations can range from pain, an aching in the muscles, "an itch you can't scratch", an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop", or even a crawling feeling. The sensations typically begin or intensify during quiet wakefulness, such as when relaxing, reading, studying, or trying to sleep.

Restless legs syndrome is most commonly induced during the [[withdrawal]] symptoms of many [[depressant|depressants]], such as [[opioid|opioids]] or [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]], and during the [[offset]] of many [[stimulants]], such as [[methamphetamine]], [[cocaine]], and [[MDMA]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of [[deliriant|deliriants]] such as [[DPH]] and [[datura]].

RLS is theorized to be linked to a deficiency of dopamine, specifically a lower amount of activity at the D2 dopamine receptors. D2 antagonists can cause restless leg syndrome in people, especially as the dosage increases, a prime example of a D2 antagonists that causes RLS is Quetiapine.
