My GP wanted me to go on Gabapentin 300mg three imes a day however after reading about it I said I was not happy, he ha now suggeted I start on 100mg three times a day, starting 1 on the first day, 1 twice a day on the second day and then 1 three times a day from then on. I am still not sure has enyone been on them and what problems if any did you have, also what good did it do? Thanks Jacky.

I found it didn't touch my pain... I was on it for 3 months... But I have since switched to pregabalin aka Lyrica and I am finding it much more helpful in the pain dept. Once you take a month or so for side effects to wear off :) though I do take regular laxatives because if I don't it becomes a big problem lol

Hi my doctor also put me on gabapentin but when I was referred to the pain management team we found that even though the pain side was helping me all I did was sleep,day or night I wasn't able to lead a normal as possible life,so they changed it to pregablin which for me works best, the pain management team taught me how to up my medication when I have a bad day or lower it on a good day, I hope that helps with your question.:-)
I thought I answered this but maybe someone else asked the same question. I am on gabapentin and it works for me. I haven't noticed any side effects that I know of. I did notice right away that the muscle pain went away!
Yes, don't take it. It made my crazy I had to get off of it. It make you do and say crazy things. I was not my self. I am just say that what it did to me. You may be different. I have talked to many people about it. NO GOOD! I even heard;... people see things like bugs on the walls and stuff.
