I had the RLS years before I was diagnosed with PN. It seems it often goes hand in hand. It's miserable isn't it?

Ultram helps and for times when the Ultram isn't enough I have Mirapex. Normally Mirapex is taken on a schedule and must be titrated going on and weaned off of. But for me I take half a pill of the starting dose and I have relief within a half hour. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it's worth a try.

Gabapentin (generic Neurontin) helped with it when I first started taking it. Then they doubled my dose and I became suicidal. I stopped taking it cold turkey and within about 4 days I felt better again. They won't give me Lyrica because it's a related drug.
