This is true of gabapentin and pregabalin which were originally invented for seizures. Pregabalin is similar to gabapentin but has less side effects and often people who can not tolerate gabapentin benefit from pregabalin. However it is more expensive.

I have been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome. It's caused by low Iron. The actual medication prescribed for it Is not considered safe during pregnancy.
