I broke down and took 300 mg of gabapentin last night-my dr. and my mother had been begging me to try something cause I’ve been getting worse. It seemed to to tone down the Akathesia for the night,but I got no sleep on it,it just made me loopy. Has anyone who’s tried this gotten any sleep on it? Gabapentin did not help my chronic akathisia AT ALL (long story, misdiagnosed at one point, tons of unnecessary neuroleptics for years). AND, it made my arthralgia worse (or so it seemed at the time). gabapentin for akathisia? Anyone here been prescribed this specifically for leg symptoms?

It said online that it can help with that. I’m prescribed benztropine but don’t take it cause it’s unbearable. I’d be open to trying gabapentin. right now the only med I take is my antipsychotic.
