Gabapentin has been a life- safer for me since I was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. The onset of the sfpn literally made me feel like my entire body was burning in hell. It was the most excruciating pain I had ever experienced. I initially started last year at 3600mg a day and am now down to 1500mg! Some people might throw a fit and scream drug warnings to me, but I will continually keep trying to slowly lower my dosage under the doctor’s guidance. I’m staying with what works in order to live a “normal “ life. Best wishes to all who suffer neuropathy. <3
