Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy?

Gabapentin just covers up the pain and side effects. I personally did not like it because it made me feel like I was loosing my mind. It causes forgetfulness and for me I can’t urinate so it affects my kidneys also.

I was given an RX for Gabapentin by a primary care doctor which I subsequently dismissed. She prescribed I take it 3x a day for lower extremity lymphedema, which I did. I was so spaced out, almost got into an accident driving, so I stopped it and consulted my cardiologist. He was shocked at 3x a day. He only prescribed it for those with trouble sleeping. Same reaction from my new primary care doctor. Be careful taking it during the day.

Yes. I have read so many complaints about gabapentin. From many forums. And, doctors keep offering it for numbness. Why?
I think all neurologists should be reading these forums.
