I have been taking gabapetin for pain in my feet. I have to take a fairly high dosage (1200). I have developed pain in my muscles. I'm beginning to think the gabapetin is causing pain in my calves and other muscles. I really need something for the neuropathy. I took Lyrica and it was great at first but stopped working after a couple of months. I feel like I can't win for losing. I take one thing for pain and it causes pain somewhere else.

I have the same problem with the pain in my lower legs. I had this with both gabapentin and Lyrica.
I was taking 100mg lyrica, 3 times daily, plus 800 mg Ibuprophen, twice daily, but my new neurologist didn't think taking the Ibuprophen as a good idea, caused rebound migraines, so he raised the Lyrica to 150mg, and encouraged me to stop the Ibuprophen. He also started me on Propranolol, to help with the migraines. I've only been taking it a couple of days, so don't know yet if it is going to help. I stopped the Botox injections, they weren't helping the headaches.

Thanks for the reply. I also take tramadol when the pain is bad but I don't want to get addicted. I take 600 of gabapentin 2x300.
Memory loss is also prevalent but it helps me sleep. Hot and cold packs help and soaking with Epsom salts. Tylenal helps also.Diclofenac cream or pills did not.
