Good morning. I've had RLS for years. I take a med called Requip but it has some bizarre side effects. One is wanting to shop too much--now you all know my weakness. I do have to watch it. WHy a pain med for RLS? DId you see a neurologist and not a PCP?

Gabapentin is routinely prescribed for RLS from what I understand and it does work pretty good. You had mentioned in a post you take Requip and don’t have the symptoms anymore…so does that mean they feel normal or you just don’t have the urge to move them but still have odd feelings?

Yes, neurologist did nerve and muscle conductivity tests and all normal. In the last 5 months I have had just about every blood test nerve test and other test and if anyone looked at the the results you would think I am a very healthy guy. But something is certainly wrong. I started gabupenton about three weeks ago and hit helps but still have horrid tingling everywhere but allow me some sleep.
