A member asked:
How long does it take gabapentin to work for restless leg syndrome ? should it work immediately or after builds up in system for days? thanks drs?

The dose needs upwards titration over several days to weeks. Taking it three times daily, efficacy should be achieved within a short time. At a dose maximum of 1800 mg/day, if not successful, would switch to a dopamine agonist.
