I just an article on Gabapentin on Yahoo news. I always go to the comments section afterwards. There were MANY comments from people who are on Gabapentin and report a high degree of success with relief from neuropathy. The most common complaint was side effects of drowsiness. Many commenters revealed that it usually diminished and disappeared after a few days of weeks. Dosage was anywhere from 200 mg, 2x a day to 1800 mg 2x a day. I have been taking it off and on for seven years. Except for initail dizzinees, the drug has no side effects. I am currently on 600 mg 3x a day. I helps take the edge off my nerve pain.
