A sleep study showed that RLS was preventing me from getting a restful sleep.,I was prescribed gabapentin and that seems to have taken care of the problem

I’m glad it helped you! I had my back fused at 3 & 4 and I was recovering at home after several days in the hospital when I got bad restless legs and Gabapentin did not help. I tried Requip (generic Ropinerole) and then I could finally sit still and sleep. I take 2mg extended release in the morning, 1 mg immediate release at 3 pm and 2mg ext. release at 7pm so I can go to bed at 9pm and sleep. I am a very active person and now even after open heart surgery a year ago the Gapenpentin is working fine.
