I take 250 mg. magnesium 2xday which has greatly reduced my nightly leg and foot cramps, I also do calf stretches before retiring. Hope this helps. Helen

Ask your doc to slowly boost your gaba script till it starts working. I'm at 3600 mg daily which is a max dosage. It cuts my pn in my feet by about half which at least tolerable. I also soak them in hot water each eve. for 15 minutes. If they still hurt I rub 4% lidocaine on them which rapidly numbs them into submission. Johnmacc
