Gabapentin has helped my idiopathic polyneuropathy. Very little tingling and acute shocks. I also know that I am having fatigue and cognitive difficulties. I have a family history of Alzheimer's, so I am not sure how much the gabapentin is causing the cognitive problems. Gabapentin has a bad history, that is factual, but it is better than some of the other things I have had. I have BPH and other things have prevented urination, which is not acceptable. Other meds also cause dry mouth, which I hate; so gabapentin is acceptable for me.
