A method for treating or preventing the Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and/or the Periodic Limb Movements During Sleep (PLMS) comprises administration of a choline esterase inhibitor (CEI) and, optionally, carbamazepine, clonidine, baclofen, hypnotic agent, opioid agonist, and dopaminergic agonist. Administration precedes the onset of sleep at night by from zero to three hours so as to make the CEI exert a therapeutic effect during a major portion of the sleep period. Also disclosed are corresponding pharmaceutical compositions and their use, including compositions comprising a combination of CEI with carbamazepine, clonidine, baclofen, hypnotic agent, opioid agonist, and dopaminergic agonist.
