How does this drug help sciatica and how does it help the sciatic nerve.
I also take Neutontin(gabapentin) for sciatic pain and reastless leg syndrome. I find that it makes a dramatic change in my pain at night and low back/hipand leg nerve pain, and migranes. I am… read more

I took my first dose of neurontin last night for nerve pain. I became more dizzy than I have ever been in my life. Falling over and had to hang on to the bed. I was terrified. I have been dizzy often never anything in my life like this and it is still lasting almost 20 hours later, though not as bad. It was the lowest dose made. 100 mg. I called the dr , he is on vacation nurse said discontinue til I hear from him.. Has anyone had this reaction? The weird thing is within hours though I was dizzy… read more

I have been told I’m on the only medication available to treat neuropathy. I currently take lyrica, cymbalta and generic tegretol. Does anyone know of any stronger or more successful treatments?
Thanks have been off Cymbalta for 5 months now. Fibro kicking me now along with back pain and RA. See dr next Thursday so hope to find new treatments for Fibro. Thanks
I do not know if the medication is even still working for my pain. I just am wondering if there are other meds for my pain due to some possible new side effects. Or is it affects?
I'm just the opposite I take 300mg twice a day. And I get lethargic with out them.
Lyrica has the same properties but 4x as expensive. But I think meds affect individuals differently. 🤔
Have any of you experienced weight gain from neurontin? I have been on it for 1 1/2 years now and as they raised the dose I noticed I started going weight. I now take 800mgs a day. Since April I have gone from 140 lbs to 180. I am not happy at this weight but the drug does help a lot..though I still have the neuropathy all over my body, including my face. I am not eating more. The dr would like to raise it more but I don't want to be obese along with my other problems
I think the fact that I… read more
I hate neurontin I take 1600 mg a day on top of my infusion that I have every 6 months.I have put on weight but it's not just the medication it's that we can't do excerise and I find I eat more.
Because my nerves are damaged I have constant chronic pain. My stimulator acts like a TENs machine but internal and attached to the spine. It trys to block the synapses from firing to help block the… read more
After now being forced to wean off all my opioid pain meds that were working... and the Pain clinic put me on gabapentin. I am just looking for comments on how this has worked for others....IF it has worked, dosage.....side effects, etc.
Thanks for any info!!
Gabapentin doesn’t work for me at all for pain !!! But I take it for a mood sabalizer 1 a day !!!
I have had nerve like pain for a year and counting and was put on Gabapentin quite some time ago. Turns out this was a very bad choice has anyone else had negative side effects from using Gabapentin? What helps you now?
Long time. Helps me sleep. No other problems . 😊✌
They have no idea if I have fibromyalgia or not. But they're just trying this to see. I'm just wondering, when am I supposed to feel better if this med is supposed to help? What's been anyone elses experience? It's basically cymbalta. I only see results for energy, appetite, mood, etc but not pain on a Google search. They did not want me to come back in X amount of time for a follow-up or anything and I'm super self-conscious I'm annoying them because I send them a ton of messages already… read more
I was on that and neurontin together and they did nothing for me. Lyrica made my pain and mood worse.
