Joint and Muscle pain while on gabapentin?

@ginger123 When I started on Gabapentin, along with Tramadol and diclofenac K for severe pain, I felt all wonky and dizzy for the first few days. As I recall I was on 100 mg three times a day. After a few days everything calmed down and I felt so much better. Today, much of my pain has returned and I am on 600 mg three times a day. Yes. 600 mg. I have peripheral neuropathy, so I'm not sure how much the Gabapentin is helping. Hang in there for a while to see if you acclimate to it, and, most importantly, if it helps you. Wish you well in your journey!

I've been taking 1200mg 3 times a day for a few years now, and all it does is dull the pain, which is exactly what my doctor told me.
