This is a lengthy, thorough article on gabapentin and everything you want to know about it. I found it when looking for information about the drug and the side effects that caused me to get off of it.

@judyingenes I’m 72 and have had minimal ‘doable’ side effects.
My brother has been on it for 7 years and my mother was on it for several years as well!
Because of my age I don’t have much time left and I want as good of a quality of life as possible!
It has taken my sciatica pain completely away!
At my age, quality of life is all that matters.
My doctor suggested a back MRI, to find the ‘cause’ of my sciatic pain, and I told her that, at my age, I was NOT getting back surgery whatsoever!

@judyingenes what are you taking in place of gabapentin. I don't think I could function without it. I take it for multiple reasons. I have interstitial cystitis which is bladder pain and also neuropathy of feet. I had concerns when I started but now I really don't think I could function in any way without it.
