Gabapentin!

garydavidturneryahoo profile image

I was carrying something heavy seven weeks ago, and this triggered sciatica. I have been taking gabapentin 900mg per day, for five days now, and my sciatica pain has worsened, although not intolerably. Is this just a temporary side effect of the medication? Should I persevere with this treatment?
