RLS my living nightmare!

@shiner58 Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry that you have RLS. Nothing is worse. I suffered from RLS before I even knew it was something. Almost nightly I was walking holes in the carpet! For at least 45 minutes. Luckily, one of my doctors decided that enough was enough. She had me make an appointment with a neurologist who was a movement specialist. She helped straighten me out. She has me on 300mg gabapentin in the evening (if I remember!) and 600 at bedtime. It works so far! I must admit that I also take nortriptyline 30mg and seroquel 25mg at bedtime to prevent migraines. They do nothing for RLS. I have had RLS for 15-20 mostly miserable years. I certainly hope something works for you soon.

@becsbuddy oh my goodness I haven’t heard of those drugs or a moment Neurologist, but I’m up again for the fifth night in a row, but I don’t get to sleep any not even through the night once I have to walk continually for seven or eight hours. I’m first time myself and knowing what else to do, I wish just to have relief. I’m about to go insane.
