@johntow ...Thanks, I will do that again. The reason I was put on Gabapentin was to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms I had due to discontinuing Clonazapam, which had been prescribed for sleep. Now I am told that I will have to discontinue the Gabapentin as well. In the meantime, I have enjoyed having no problems with restless legs syndrome. I am able to enjoy going to bed, and not finding it to be a challenge.

@spreels2
for a SAFE sleep aid, I found Flexeral or Cyclobenzaprine to make me quite sleepy, and I will sleep through the night without waking up, I may even sleep in later if not careful. Tylenol PM is just as unsafe to take long-term as Benadryl is, because it contains the same active ingredient.

@spreels2 Hi, my doctor put me on ropinirole for RLS. 0.5mg and it works great. Good luck!
