Guest guest Posted March 24, 1999 Report Share Posted March 24, 1999 Neuro prescribed Neurontin so I could get off the Maripex for a while. Took one at 6 p.m. Around 9 p.m. my legs really started jumping here at the computer. Thinking I needed more Neurontin, I took another. The legs started going crazy, then my upper arms and hands. I was becoming afraid of what I was in for when I went to bed. Went to bed around 11 p.m. and took a tylenol with codeine. I didn't care if it interacted or not. I told my son what I had taken . .. . just in case. F ortunately, the tylenol/codeine settled me down and I was able to sleep. When the alarm went off at 5 a.m. I was waiting for the next " snooze " to go off and my legs started up again. This was the first time I have ever had RLS the first thing in the morning before I ever got out of bed. I must have still had some Neurontin in my system. So, I for one, cannot take Neurontin. It exacerbates my RLS terribly. I called the doctor and I went back on the Maripex and he told me he couldn't do anything else for me--he is referring me to a new neurologist coming to town in April who he says is more versed in RLS. So much for this neuro. Lindy B. in Southeast Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
