@mcd123 , @amandajro and all
I have severe RLS as well. It was diagnosed 2 years ago during an overnight sleep study at Mayo Clinic. Diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea as well. I was immediately prescribed Vitron over the counter iron +C supplement. It seems low iron, ferrous, often contributes to RLS and supplementation by iron +C, must include C for iron absorption. It helped tremendously. I suggest you contact your PCP asap to see if he approves this addition to your daily regimen, or wants to have tests of your ferrous levels.
I then was put on Requip. I take 2 tablets nightly. It is a miracle drug for me re the RLS which is greatly improved as is my overall general leg use, walking, balance, outlook, ability to lift my feet and walk better. It helps me greatly. If you cannot take Requip, again, ck with your PCP or sleep doctor for adjusting this dosage or replacing it with another drug. I can tell you it helps me more than anything else and I love this drug!!!!

Why are you taking gabapantin? I took it for several years, as well as Lyrica and other such drugs. I'm now off them all, tapered carefully working with my Mayo psychiatrist and neurologists. These drugs are serious and must be tapered slowly, overseen carefully by your doctors.

Good luck and bless you as you work through this process.
