Your consultant obviously knows nothing about RLS if s/he thinks they make it worse. I assume you meant Sinemet. It is a dopamine agonist. I thought you said recently your RLS was under control. If so, why change anything unless your Parkinson's is not under control in which case sinemet could help, but I don't think you need to stop gabapentin to add it. Print out the section on gabapentin of the Mayo Clinic Updated Algorithm on RLS to show our doctor at Https://mayoclinicproceedings.org/a...

I've been taking Tramadol for 15 years (100mg a day) and it works just fine. I know everyone is different but Tramadol works for me.
