Mine was the lowest dose. I'm a lightweight with anyan med. I didn't notice anything while I was in it. When I got off I realized I had been in a daze for 3 years. But my daughters take it for fibromyalgia and they have higher doses and they don't have any side effects.

I used to used gabapentin for the nerve damage in my arm and hand. It worked for 3 years then I had to go to Lyrica.

Thank you for replying. The flexeril did make me tired but I was given that with the steroids. I think the relief I felt was from the steroids not the flexeril so the Dr put me on robaxin which worked better than the flexeril but still had significant pain. The gabapentin seems to give me noticeable relief about an hour and a half after taking it. Tylenol doesn't do anything for me and I can't take NSAIDs because I had an ulcer. Did u have any negative side effects from the gabapentin? Im so confused at this point. Pain bad been going on for 2 months. I have follow up with ortho today for MRI results. I just want to feel better.

When my 2nd ulnar surgery went bad that is what the put me on for the severe nerve pain. It quit working after a couple of years. So they weened me off and put me on Lyrica. I did not realize just how medicated I was until I was totally off.

I was taking Gapapentin for pain but had lots of side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and pressure headaches. I have since been weaned of the medication by family doctor due to all the side effects I was experiencing.
