Hi, I posted a while ago and since have been medicated with 200mg Pregabalin and iron ferritin at 134…. it isn’t helping. I thought it would but I am up most nights….. I feel that if Pregabalin isn’t helping me that I should decrease and come off it altogether but I really don’t know what to do? Can you advise me please?

Effective pregabalin doses are usually in the range of 150 to 450 mg daily. Increase your dose gradually before ruling it out.
Thank you, I will speak with my GP today
You still have room to increase. Do so slowly by 25mg every few days.The max dose for RLS is 450mg.
If that doesn't help, your next line of meds will be low dose opioids.
As I mentioned before According to the Mayo Clinic Updated Algorithm on RLS: "Most RLS patients require 200 to 300 mg of pregabalin."
