Gabapentin side effects?

Reading over all the comments regarding Gabapentin side effects, I have to say that I seem to fit many of the side effects... tiredness, loss of balance, foggy-headed. Since I am on a pain pump, I am considering tapering off the gabapentin to see what happens. It certainly doesn't seem to be helping any with my pain.

@heisenberg34 I take 300 mg twice daily for my sciatica.

The loopiness and tiredness doesn’t kick in until about 90 minutes AFTERVi take the morning pill and it only lasts for a couple of hours.

However I’ve found if I start busy with chores/honey dooos, it doesn’t affect me as bad AND my brother, who has been on for 7 years, says it will subside a lot after about a year!🤷🏼

@heisenberg34

If it doesn't help then don't take it.
