Hey, I just want to warn you, I had some really bad mental health issues while on Gabapentin and really bad withdrawal symptoms when they took me off. Not saying it won't help you and you shouldn't try it, but be careful of that stuff. Lyrica was the same way.

I had a seizure the 1st 24 hours of using it. They kept me on it....all my hair fell out. I got very little relief from pain. Quit taking after 6 months.

It's working for me, but I will say, it takes a cpl months of regular use to feel the results. I've tried it a few times inbthe beginning of my discovery. But I didn't give it a good chance. Also, a lit'l piece of advice, be careful with the dosage, because it has to get in your system, we tend to feel like we need more, stronger dose. I'm prescribed 6, 100mg a day, but I can't function on that, so I take 3, 100mg a day. Hope this helps.

People seem to prefer the pregabalin ( lyrica) that was developed after gaba . I prefer LDN since it has much fewer or no side effects
