Can gabapentin cause muscle pain and cramps in arms & legs?

Posted by sadeyes @sadeyes, Jan 28, 2020

Has anyone ever had the experience of Gabapentin causing severe muscle cramps in arms and legs and muscular pain and feeling of weakness? I know it is supposed to basically do the opposite and help with muscular problems......but this has happened twice to me as soon as I started the gaba and it was very severe,

You're so right! Big Pharma is utterly and completely profit driven. Their
disregard for the truth and dangers associated with the drugs they throw into the market is reprehensible if not downright illegal. The FDA approving drugs based on "clinical trials" where as few as TWO people took part smacks of collusion with Bug Pharma. And here we are - all the countless people who suffer dangerous side effects - getting none of the hoped for health benefits -
and getting no truthful answers to our questions. We can only keep asking questions and search wherever we can for the answers. Take care of yourself
