I personally don’t like gabapentin. I don’t think it helps and I’m always dizzy, tired and feel kinda lopsided when I take it.

Same. What do you take that helps your back pain?

I have been taking Tylenol Arthritis, really helps after a long day on my feet. Relaxes me!

Gabapentin made my hands tremble! I thought I had Parkinson’s. Stopped medicine and trembles stopped.

I felt like it helped for a while. But I've been on it for years now, I dont think it helps any more. But last time they tried to give me a different med it made me so sick I'm afraid to try again

I feel like it helps a little nothing really helps much I’m very frustrated right now with my primary and my pain management I’m supposed to get a nerve ablation again and I’m on blood thinner but my primary said I had been on them long enough to have it done and I can’t get anybody from either place to call me I’m pissed at all of them !!!!!!!

It made all the difference in the world. No more radiating pain down my legs.

I was referred to an orthopedic spine specialist but found out that my insurance wouldn’t pay for ANYTHING related to the spine. 😥

Not really but I tried stopping and weaned myself down to 100mg. Well, my pain got worse so I started taking again. It does something but not certain exactly What.

It works well for nerve pain but it’s not a good mood stabilizer.

I didn’t have a good reaction to it. It didn’t help my pain levels and I lost some of my cognitive function the next day and had major brain fog.

Yes. It made all the difference for me. It will do until surgery.

It certainly takes the edge off but I honestly don't like this med, it is awful on my digestion and I'm a real space cadet
