Experience with Gabapentin -- Side Effects
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2017 4:01 pm
Folks:
I've had PN from biking for 3 years now. Took a long time to get to diagnosis, but finally got there. My MD gave me 300 MG/day Gabapentin, which works really well for me. My pain and ED (I'm male) go away. However, the GB gives me terrible panic attacks and sleepless nights -- even just the 50 MG/day dosage. My wife takes GB for a different nerve condition, and it's like taking vitamins for her. She gets great benefit with no side effects. She sleeps like a baby. Does anyone have experience with GB, and, if so, how has it gone? I plan to try Lyrica but fear that I'll have similar issues. Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks,
Bill
