Mirapex is used to treat fibromyalgia, so I already was on it before. It started causing RLS/PLMD, then nausea.
Carbamazepine is an anti-seisure drug. It works good, but I developed itching and was told to stop.
Gabapentin was prescribed for RLS/PLMD in a large dose. A smaller dose worked better, but it eventually caused me nausea so severe I had to stop. It diminishes your mental faculties.
Amitriptyline works well but causes insomnia and after long term urinary retention and abdominal pain, and this becomes life threatening.
Lidocaine patch works well but some brands have stickum that itches. It doesn't stick well on the face and gets tangled up in your hair. It can be used as needed but it's annoying unless you shave your scalp.
These are anecdotal for me and would not affect everyone this way.
