Have been taking gabapentin(Neurontin) for 4 years and the results were miraculous. Occasionally I need to take a second pill during the night however this is rare but stops the RLS so I can sleep!

Nerve pain in lower r/side back radiating down leg to top of foot. Only about 50% pain relief. Physical therapy does better at relieving pain than this medication does. It also makes me very drowsy.

This medication makes me fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I can be in the middle of eating, dressing, or even using the bathroom and I am asleep.
