Suggest Treatment For Worsening Of Restless Leg Syndrome While Weaning Off Gabapentin

I tried to stop using gabapentin by following instructions, reducing dosage by half for a week and then altogether. After a few days of reducing dosage I had severe restless leg syndrome. Is it safe to return to frull dosage now? (Full dosage is two 300 mg capsules at Hnoon and two more at bedtime.) Howard Kramer YYYY@YYYY
