New to gabapentin

For years, I have been taking 3 mg of Ropinirole for my restless legs. 1 mg in the morning and 2 mg two hours before bedtime. I have now added 900 mg of gabapentin which I have been taking for about two weeks. I take 600 mg two hours before bed and 300 right before bed. I find that my restless legs actually have gotten worse with it bothering me from about 5pm until I go to bed. I sleep better than I did with Ropinirole only but the evenings are worse. Has anyone else had this reaction to gabapentin?
