A member asked:
Which one is better for restless leg syndrome- lyrica (pregabalin) or gabapentin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: I have tried both with some success. Lyrica (pregabalin) is more expensive and causes weight gain. I would start with gabapentin. Have you tried Requip or Mirapex already?
