Hello,

You should be checked first for a possible iron deficiency. Correcting it should improve your symptoms too. Alternative drugs include Gabapentin, opioids, sleep pills, etc. Discuss with your doctor for these issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
