Update

[ParisianTN55]

Just wanted to give a little update on my RLS. After 10 mg of Ropinorole for over a year I can finally say I did it. I got off the ropinorole! It’s been 4 months now. I’m taking 900 mg of gabapentin divided into 400 mg 4 hours before bed and 500 mg 1 hour before bed. I sleep much better since starting the gabapentin. I do occasionally have mild RLS and usually take 25 mg of Tramadol when it happens. It’s a good feeling being off the ropinorole. There is an end to the horrible withdrawal!!

Huge congratulations. That is fantastic news.

That's terrific! So pleased for you.

You will get even better results by taking 600 mg gabapentin 1 hour before bedtime and 300 mg 2 hours before that. You want the most gabapentin at the 1 hour before bedtime and you don't want to separate the second dose more than 2 hours before that for maximum effect at night because some of it will start to wear off.

Thanks Sue! I will try switching my dosage.
