My Doctor said that the dose of Gabapentin I am on is fine. I've been on this regiment for a while now and I am doing quite fine it is like a miracle find for me.

I take 2400mg twice a day with one pill Of Carbidopa-Levodopa 10-100mg and it works great I get like 12 hours of relief each dose.

Well.. I'm very concerned about this.. I'm taking 2400mg of Gabapentin twice a day to relieve my RLS it's a very high dose and my Doctor didn't prescribe it to me at that dose.

I've told my Psychiatrist that I'm open to new Psych meds.. The only Psych med that has worked for me is the Clozapine, unfortunately.

The Doctors in my state refuse to prescribe any kind of opioid because of an Opioid problem in my state. It was suggested I go to a pain clinic and I have already and they said they won't give me any Opioid because I'm not in any pain. RLS doesn't count as a viable reason for an Opioid. I had a doct...

My Doctor sent me to a neurologist and she said I was the worst case she has ever seen. She tried me onseveral medications.. Every RLS med, Many...
