Issues With Gabapentin 100mg

I have severe restless feet. I take mirapex at night. I've started having severe restlessness in the morning now. I've been given gabapentin 100 mg during the day. It makes me tired and feel strange. I have taken a small dose of narco 2x a day and it works great. I've ran out now my feet are acting up again which makes life and travel miserable. Dr will not continue with narco even tho it works. Don't know what to do. Been dealing with this for over 20 years. Any advice?

Hello, Lori! How are you?

What symptoms do you experience that you describe as feeling strange? Can you please be more specific?

Gabapentin is actually an anticonvulsant that can also help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

Have you asked your doctor about possibly taking it at night?

I'm experiencing all the symptoms you've described. I do take 300 mg at night with my mirapex and klonopin. That works great. 100 mg is supposed to be to function during the day. It's impossible to take a 30 mile trip without wanting to drag my feet out the door onto the pavement. It doesn't work. I also take Ritalin because of daytime drowsiness. So the extra pill during the day defeats the purpose. Narco does not affect me that way.
