Gabapentin for back pain

[Spursboy]

Do you take these when pain comes on or every day 3 times a day?

Are there any side effects?

Do they work?

Hi spursboy, yes , you take them as stated by your gp, 3× per day , not when you get the pain only yes there are side effects , but they usually subside after a few weeks ,I was on them myself but I couldn't tolerate them so im now on pregabalin, issued by pain management clinic as hospital.

Hi there. I was on gabapentin but swapped to pregabalin due to eye issues. They work in a similar way. However they are by far the best for referred nerve pain. I have both back pain and referred nerve pain. The pregabalin does not much for my back pain but helps a lot for the nerve pain. I take tramadol for the back pain. Having said that it might just do the job for you. You have to take it as prescribed and regularly to have the greatest effect.
