Pain
"I was prescribed gabapentin for severe pain in the cervical spine due to cervical dystonia, cervical facet arthritis, degenerative disk disease, and shoulder trigger points. I was told to start with 300 mg 3X day, and work up to 900 mg 3X day or more. The first week I was told to only take 300 mg per night for a few days to get used to it, and then build up to 900. By the end of the first week I hit 900 per day, which I was supposed to stay on for a week or so and then go up some more. Once I hit 900 mg I became very confused. I couldn&#039;t speak correctly (word finding problems) and began to get easily disoriented. I became seriously lost in places I am very familiar with. I never did experience any pain relief."
