What Gabapentin has done for me.

[Bailey_Texas]

I have been taking Gabapentin for the pain in my feet about a month. It has worked, i no longer nave any issues with my feet. They still tingle some but it is so light i hardly notice. Before i started taking Gabapentin my feet would at times keep me from from going to sleep and when driving more than ten miles my feet would hurt more than i could take. Now they still bother me some but i can ignore them.

Glad to hear it.

I can’t seem to tolerate this med. it makes me dizzy, nauseous, tearful. I feel like I’m in outer space. Any advice on when to take it? I have terrible back issues. I’m taking Sinemet ER, Azilect and Amadatine.

It made me fall asleep a lot at first but now i am ok with it. The only thing i would do is start with a small dose and work your way up to the dose that helps you.
