Suggest Treatment For Hypertension, Hypothyroidism And Glaucoma While On Gabapentin

I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, HYPOTHYROIDISM, GLAUCOMA, AND RESTLES LIMB SYNDROME. I AM JERKING CONSTANTLY ALL OVER AND HAVE TAKEN GABAPENTIN, XANAX AND PRAMIPEXOLE AS DIRECTED BY MY NEUROLOGIST. WHAT COULD BE GOING WRONG THAT I CONTUNALLY JERK AND CANNOT SLEEP AT ALL. SHOULD I GO TO THE HOSPITAL?

Hi,

With the diseases like multiple sclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hypothyroidism, some functional disorders are likely and it can be fibromyalgia with neuritis. If you come out of the stress, no anxiety is there then there would be no restlessness symptoms of the leg. I would suggest continuing the Gabapentin medication. I would also suggest for physiotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
