Hey Poppy67,
I think my reaction has been quite the opposite, and, I just realized my calculations were wrong on the amount of Gaba I am taking because my pills are 300mg each, so I am taking approximately 3000mg/day and I can't seem to keep a healthy weight up... possibly due to the other medical diagnose neuro gave me after doing tests and found flaws in a gene. I have found, my order of so many daily processes is so distracting that, by the time I realize I've eaten nothing for 24 hours and, decide lunch is the time to "binge eat", thoroughly disrupting this brain even further. I'll apologize again because I am wandering away from the subject with every sentence I write. I think Gaba has helped my seizure disorder but not relief from the perpetual pain of my right arm. I can't fully tell what the benefits should be, but I have some certainty, it has not produced enough relief for the reason I need or want.

Hi, I had to take Gabapentin for back pain and sciatic pain. I found that I could not see clearly, was in a fog all the time, & could not remember things. Had read about weight gain thus and drank lots of water. But what I decided to do was ween myself off from 600 mg 3 times a day (asked my Dr if I could) then down to 300 mg (3x a day) and in April got off of them. Yes, I have pain all the time - hard to sleep, but I have my head clear and can see. Best thing I have done! Been off of everything now for 1.5 months.
