I am currently taking gabapentin . It has been a lifesaver for me . I had been on Lyrica . It is an evil medication . I was constipated , anxiety attacks and very dark, dark thoughts . Every person will react differently to medications . Do not give up . It is so hard to keep going when you are in pain . There is nothing you cannot do with planning .

I believe the doctors surprise in my hospital was not so much related to the gabapentin as it was to the dosage I was given. I was started at 300 mg. One of my doctors said they usually start anyone at my age only 100 mg.🤦‍♀️

It has been a lifesaver for me too. How much do you take? Right now I am on 300mg 3x/day but have been advised to increase to 600mg 3x/day over the next month to eliminate breakthrough pain. Wondering if that seems like too much.
