Restless Legs Syndrome
"I&#039;ve been on Gabapentin for 2 years.  The first 12 months I was on 4x 300mg/day for nerve pain; it worked.  It was around the end of that first year that I &quot;developed&quot; RLS.
I was prescribed Pramipexole &amp; the RLS went away.
Over the next 12 months, my Gabapentin dose was increased from 4 to 8/day due to worse nerve pain.
Sadly, due to side effects, I had to come off Gabapentin; but the RLS returned!
So, at first glance, it appears I need Pramipexole AND Gabapentin to stop the RLS but, due to the aforementioned side-effects, not possible!
So, a larger dose of Pramipexole is on the cards.
Sorry, this is a long-winded way of saying that I believe Gabapentin will help a huge number of people in keeping RLS at bay or at least reducing it."
