Has anyone ever been given these tablets for lupas

[DaleDiva]

Yes I have. I have Lupus affecting my nervous system and take Gabapentin to deal with migraine. I have had no side effects and they have helped reduce the headaches I was getting

Hi Maidmarion

What a shock for you to learn you've had Lupus showing in your blood this last 10 years without being told!. Bet you feel angry , you needn't have battled so much!. Have you been put on steroids ?. With Gabapentin hope your GP has told you how to keep increasing the dose till you find the effective one to stay on. Do it gradually!. I hope it helps you.X

Hi, I take Gabapentin for the nerve pain associated with Lupus, it works very well, with no side effects.

Hi Maidmarion, how are u feeling today? I've been taking gabapentin since 2010 for nerve related issues since back surgery. Proven to be quite helpful. Hope it works for u as well.
