I have been on gabapentin 600mgs for around 8 years now, I feel it helps me alot but I have fybro, RA and Ostio. so you need to remember what may be good for you and me may not work on others. The medication will settle down and it will be the least of your problems. (or at least I would assume so if your on this board, lol) The only medication I really had a TRUE PROBLEM with was called OPANA, and that almost took me out of here two times!!! Hang in there if you feel its working, and remember if you Doctor is good to you in general, IT TAKES TIME TO FINE TUNE YOUR PAIN to a point your "okay" (and of course it will change often and that's not yours or the Doctors fault. (Sadly I have been at this a while) But with the same Rheumatologist for around 11 years.

Please take care of you!
