Hi, I have HFrEF and I am also a Guillain Beret Syndrome survivor. I have neuropathy issues with my feet as a result of GBS. I took Gabapentin for years, however, I started having memory issues in my 60’s. I read that Gabapentin can cause that. I worked with my PCP to get off the Gab, and I noticed an improvement with my memory within a couple of months. My neuropathy in my feet did not worsen but I still have some problems. I treat it with natural remedies that my Neurologist supports. That’s my experience with Gabapentin.

I would like to learn more about the natural remedies your Neurologist supports. I have been taking Gabapentin for a little over a year for Restless Leg Syndrome. My sleep study showed 46.8 Periodic Limb Movements/Hour (no wonder I'd been tired for years). However, I, too, am noticing difficulty with my memory since starting. I would like to get off the Gabapentin.

I spoke with my friend on the topic of neuropathy. Apparently the numbness has started on his hands. He is 51, and they don’t understand what is causing all this.
I don’t know what to tell them on this issue, if the Gabapentin is causing it or all the medications he is taking.
My gut says, all the medications he is taking, possibly causes other issues. I don’t know and my friend is very worried.
