I have restless leg syndrome for which I have done tests and ruled out any other causes. I am 32 years old only. Is there a possibility that if I start the doctor medication now (gaba) can that dosage be ineffective after some years? Any alternate way if that works? This only impacts me during my sleep time. My only concern is if I start the medicine at so early age, maybe at 50 plus age, it won't work anymore. Hence looking for alternatives.

If you have rls and you are taking gabapentin the effect is not going to disappear, there are many other drugs which are also available for treatment for rls. Therefore there is no need to worry you can safely consume your medication.
