@lioness: Thank you so much for this information. Your response and feedback came at such a good time. I remember now, but had forgotten, that you mentioned taking the Parkinson’s drug Mirapex. I didn’t know there was a generic form so that’s encouraging, since the Neupro patches I’m now using is expensive. I’m beginning to have breakthrough symptoms at night with that horrible restless feeling. I’m just back from a trip to Mayo where I had an appointment with my sleep doctor. Recommendation is for me to take another 300 mg pill of gabapentin right at bedtime. I know that gabapentin can be successful, but while it can kind of stave off symptoms, I’m not all that confident that this will work. But, I am hopeful. I’ll make a note though of Mirapex just in case so I can suggest it to the doctor at my next appointment.
