Nerve pain after having shingles

Possibly GABAPENTIN TABLETS could help relieve some of the discomfort from SHINGLES. It is sometimes recommended by doctors for nerve pain from shingles. Side effects are not bad for a medication. Dizziness, Drowsiness, Fatigue. Most of us could handle so little side effects. I wish you luck and most of all some relief and comfort from this terrible culprit lying dormant from CHICKENPOX that attacks our bodies. I was feeling a lot of stress when it flared up in me. Above my left eye. Very dangerous I could have gone blind. Regards, Boomerang12

I've taken gabapentin for post-herpetic neuralgia for 13 years with no side effects. My shingles were around my eye/forehead/scalp. I also have a prescribed cream that contains gabapentin, lidocaine + other drugs. I use the cream around my eye to help with itching. The cream is a compound prescription from a pain specialist.
