I was put on benzos in the beginning because my undiagnosed sleep apnea was causing me to have seizure like movements. I was switched to gabapentin at 1200 mgs. I am down to 300 mgs. It helps my body let go of sensations so it does not twitch from them. I had a occasional restless leg issue. I also was sleeping with tensed muscles. With the gabapentin, those muscles relax.

Yes, benzos are not good. Gabapentin should also be limited to small doses.
