I stopped taking my usual dose of Gabapentin to see if I can get some better sleep without it. I can still sleep but not as good and restful like what Gabapentin does. So I just decided to take some again. It is just a third of the tablet is enough for me to last until my next dialysis.
Since I am a dialysis patient the drug just circulates in my body which explains the long-lasting effect in my body. I have used Gabapentin to treat my then restless legs syndrome (RLS) which it cured completely.
Sadly the nurses and my doctor just doesn't know about it and ignores me when I would kick my legs because it is tensioned for some reason. I was the one who tried to research what is that body disorder and have found out that the cure was a Gabapentin.
Gabapentin is not recommended or prescribed by my nephrologist but she prescribes "Pregabalin" for patients that have trouble in sleeping. So I decided not to talk about it from my doctor and I fashioned myself a prescription and let my father buy it for me.
The first time I took it was a one tablet of 600 mg then after a few minutes I was able to sleep because of its relaxing effect plus my RLS disappeared just like that. I felt a little high because of the large dose so I just am taking now a third of the 600 mg Gabapentin tablet which is just enough to last me a few days.
It really helps my mind and body and if it wasn't for my due diligence and persistence of trying to find a cure for my peculiar condition or complication I just managed to relieve myself of the debilitating RLS syndrome. I think that it is caused by a toxic substance like uric acid but I am not sure.
My mother has it as well when she was a little younger. I used to be called by her to massage her lower legs because at that time she eats a lot of string beans. Her legs would kick from time to time when I was massaging it and I told her not to eat string beans anymore. It worked because she hadn't got that RLS anymore.
So if anyone of you would or are suffering from "restless Legs Syndrome[ just take Gabapentin and it will be gone like magic. Now I am just using it to relax my aching body and to give my sleep some improvement and enhancement.

Gabapentin is a nasty drug, pregablin is the cheaper of the 2, i take pregablin or Lyrica. I take 200 mg 3 times a day for my nerve pain.

Gabapentin is not prescribed by my doctor but I take it to enhance my sleep @karenb54
It is also economical for me to use this medicine because I divide it by three and I will just take it about two times a week. I like its long-lasting effect :)
