Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

I was also on high-dose Gabapentin for nearly 18 months, and after stopping I believe my Neuropathy pain in my legs has increased. I am at a loss to find a cure for this high-dose Crestor-induced Neuropathy. My sleep has been so poor 'No deep sleep' for many days of the week, it induced heart disease with a double bypass performed for a complete blockage of the L.A.D.

I am on Gabapentin 300mg for a year for back pain. It has not affected my neuropathy but does help with back pain. Problem is side effects. I am dizzy 24/7 for 5 years undiagnosed and Gabapentin makes it worse plus diarrhea. I have to choose between back pain and severe dizziness each day but neuropathy not affected

Deep tissue massage has helped my neuropathy alot. I was on gabapentin for a short time, replaced it with medical marijuana, which helped a lot, especially with sleep. I use Marijuana gummy at night for sleep. Check, your state to see if you have a medical marijuana.
