Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have restless legs syndrome and was on mirapex for 2 years. It worked but then i started having anxiety and dizziness at night. Then I went on clonopin and sometimes it helps and sometimes not. It makes me very tired in the day time. Now the dr. has put me on 300mg of gabapentin before I go to bed. Any other suggestions you might have??
Gabapentin or Pregabalin can be used for this purpose. I would also recommend checking iron plasma levels for possible deficiency and vitamin D plasma levels.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
