Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cryhavoc33" data-source="post: 4288865" data-attributes="member: 52071">(NEURONTIN) aka Gabapentin works quite well for my restless leg syndrome! It is offered in generic form, which I take. The brand name of gabapentin is (NEURONTIN)I am not a doctor, so I am only sharing information based on my own personal experience and unprofessional knowledge <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" />, but I saw the medication (LYRICA) mentioned in this thread, and felt it was worth mentioning that (LYRICA) is a SCHEDULE V Controlled Substance, while (NEURONTIN) is not a controlled substance. (LYRICA) is the name brand for the drug Pregabalin, which is in the same family of medications as Gabapentin (NEURONTIN) They have their differences like all medications do, but share alot of similarities which makes them both beneficial treatment options of RLS for a lot of people, so they are definitely worth bringing up to your doctor to see if they see either of them as a viable treatment option for ya, and since it seems like you're just wanting relief from your restless leg syndrome, and don't have SEVERE neuropathy, or if you're like me and try to avoid being prescribed  controlled substances, I'd recommend trying the Gabapentin(NEURONTIN) before jumping straight to Pregabalin(LYRICA) if your doctor discusses them with you and sees them as viable treatment options. Again I am not a licensed physician, this is not medical advice, and this should all be discussed with your doctor, just sharing my 2 cents I hope that you get some relief soon</blockquote>
