Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I tried Gabapentin for a couple of months. I didn't work for me, and it turned me into a zombie and made so many mistakes at work. I've tried the usual, Mirapex, Requip; they don't work for me either. I was put on a Fentanyl Patch for pain, and that seemed to take care of my restless leg syndrome. I've been on the same dosage for years, but after my seventh spine surgery in January, I decided to see if I could come off the Fentanyl and have lowered my dosage from 100 down to 75 mcg/hr and it still works for RLS. It might be worth considering.

Here is the information from Mayo Clinic on Restless Legs Syndrome that @ujeenjack referred to above http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/restless-legs-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20031101
Thank you for the link. It's strange, but the RLS moved from my legs into my arms. So I guess you could say I have Restless Arm Syndrome.
U R A RESTTLESS PERSON!

Y DO I GET THE THOUGHT THAT U DID NOTt CONSULT MAYHOCLINIC.ORG?.
just rechecked, under "Restlss Legs Syndrome" and saw several drugs to try. However, U MUST look at side affects of each:Ambien might be a problem after 2-4 weeks and others too might be a problem. Check with your Neurologist!!
