Have you had severe lymph node swelling from gabapentin?

Thank you for your responses!! I have gone to an ENT, an allergist, and many others. I've also been on prednisone 5 times w/o any luck. No one believes that the gabapentin caused my situation, and yet, no one can figure out why this is happening. I read about lymphatic massage, but I thought that was only for cancer patients. The problem is that it is so painful that no one can touch my face, so I'm unsure if this technique would work for me.
This situation has been overwhelming, to say the least. Thank you!!

Did you try an antibiotic? I saw your post as I was searching because of having swollen lymph after stopping gabapentin. I was given prednisone and doxycycline (antibiotic). I’ve only taken 3 prednisone tablets (six prescribed) and 2 doxy (14 prescribed)- and I am feeling relief. Last night it felt like someone was sticking their fingers into my clavicle.
I’m hoping this relief continues and that you figure yours out. When i have infections anywhere in my body, my neck lymph swell- so I guess it’s possible mine is from some other infection unrelated to gabapentin or maybe stopping taking it caused some low level or dormant bacteria to grow.
