Neuropathic Pain
"I experienced progressively worsening and frequent nerve pain shooting down both of my legs.  I had almost immediate relief with Gabapentin.  And for the first time in months, I was able to sleep throughout the night.  It was a miracle drug for me.  I got up to 900mg 3x/day.  However, I also experience an array of side effects. I always feel exhausted to the point that it makes it difficult to do daily activities.  I gained 30+ lbs in a few short months... and I have bad acne for the first time ever.   I&#039;ve started tapering back down and realize that I have more energy.. we&#039;ll see about the other side effects now.  It&#039;s a balancing act between the side effects and pain."
