Thanks for answering my question. Yes, you were on it for a pretty long time, long enough for your body to adjust to it.. 600 MG sounds like more than Orlando Jack takes, though. I don't know
We're all so different. I think I'm going to try Gabapentin but ask for a low dose to start. But I'll have to see what my doc days. I appreciate your help, Erinanne.

Erinanne...do you remember how much you were prescribed (your dosage)? How many days did you try it? I don't want tobtry too much.

Thank you for answering. I was just wondering, Orlando Jack, does gabapentine help your pain? I took it twice and found it helped my pain and my insomnia, but I also had extreme tiredness and brain fog the next day. Does that effect lessen with time?

Yes, I take 100mg Gabapentin in the evening. I started taking it for sciatic nerve pain in my right side (leg) several years ago.

Kelly059 every one is different and you could have a totally different reaction to it than I had ! I hope so I only told you my experience not to put you off but rather to warn you what to look for! Doctors should be telling us but they don’t here anyway just write prescription and see how you get on ?
