@fdona58
I take 100 mg of gabapentin a night. If i don’t I have horrible pain from a compressed nerve in my head.
The most recent study also says: (anyone can google this - and should do their own research speak with their MD)
“Because this is an observational study, it cannot establish a direct cause-and-effect link between gabapentin and cognitive decline. It shows an association, not proven causation.
• Experts urge caution in drawing firm conclusions — it’s possible that the underlying conditions requiring gabapentin, rather than the drug itself, contribute to the risk.”
There’s more on the observational study.

@willow5 Thanks! That makes me feel better about going back on Gabapentin . Or, Pregabalin which is similar but has better results . I’ll be checking in with my Pain clinic this week about that. For now they are trying to find a program for my spinal cord stimulator that will help me more . I’d stop taking gabapentin after my implant surgery thinking I no longer needed it now. I was wrong. It helps a bit but I was better with both. I don’t want any invasive surgery. Maybe endoscopic surgery as a last resort. I’m 71.
