Gabapentin for Restless Legs Syndrome

Continuing in the same vein, here is another treatment for RLS.

Gabapentin was similarly effective and just as well tolerated as ropinirole. Ropinirole will be joining the generic group later this year. Just another option.

Also, gabapentin was very good for RLS in dialysis patients and is my favorite in that category.
