My husband, , is presently prescribed klonopin and ultram for his rls. Four years ago, he was prescribed neurotin and had frightening results. He was driving 70 miles each way to work....the second day he was on neurotin he was over three hours late coming home..He did not know where he had driven or for how long ,but finally realized where he was, called me, and came home....verrry scary. He had short term memory loss for several days following that incident. Needless to say, that particular medication was immediately discontinued.
