RLS and Ataxia

I have crebellar ataxia and as a result have terrible RLS. I lie in bed at night kicking and wriggling, and the twitching and RLS keeps me awake until 3 or 4am.
I am taking two Pramipixole a night, buit it is not helping much. I am thinking of increasing the dosage, or starting with Gabapentin.
Anyone have any suggestions?

  1. Thanks..will make an appt and speak to the doc.

  2. Hi . That must be a difficult combination. Did the RLS develop as a result if the cerebellar ataxia? We're not medical experts, but we do have members who benefited from a combination of Pramipixole and gabapentin. It might be worth talking withyour doctor about adding it. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
