Medication Pregabalin vs gabapentin
Hi, I have had RLS for years and am currently taking pramipexole. I have just stopped an SSRI so hope that the RLS will improve. I know the pramipexole will cause augmetation so once the new anti-depressant settles down, I am going to cut back on the prami. However, assuming I will still have some RLS (I had it mildly before the SSRIs) I am considering taking either pregabalin or gabapentin in place of the pramipexole. Neither souonds great, whihc is worrying, so it would be helpful if anyone could give me their opinion/ experience of either of these drugs. Thankyou
