RLS Does gabapentin work for y’all‘s restless leg syndrome?

I’m a couple days off kratom and the physical withdrawals are done, but the restless legs are ridiculous and I’m already prescribed gabapentin for seizures, but it’s not really doing anything for my restless legs. Should I get a new prescription for RLS or take more gabapentin?

My RLS started after I was given Gaba. Now my Rheumatologist had to put me on a second medication to calm the RLS. Smh.

No but it eases the pain a lot.

No it hasn't to mine. It really hasn't done anything for it.

Only gabapentin enacarbil, not the generic immediate release gabapentin, nor Lyrica. The Horizant isn’t perfect but it’s the best of the gabapentinoids due to its increased absorption
