Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

Yes, I have taken turmeric for a long time but recently within last few weeks increased dosage to 8-10 pills a day once I stopped gabapentin. It find it helps. I do take CBD oil, lipoid acid, vitamin b12 omegas but aside from metformin and insulin I gave up on all prescription drugs as I just can’t see the difference in pain relief not to mention the unpleasant side effects so I’m all in with turmeric, but maybe it’s the placebo effect ha ha but seriously you can’t take too much so give it a try and take a lot you may find some relief. Please let me know as well. Take care

If you are a Costco member, there is an excellent liquid Turmeric out there I've been using. It gets to the bloodstream much faster and is far more effective for my neuropathy issues and other pain issues I have. Qunol Liquid Turmeric 1,000 mg., 30.4 Ounces, its a bit spendy, but I find its worth it. $34.99 a bottle.

Hello,
Yes, Gabapentin can cause shaking in some people. I’m not surprised that it made you sleepy being an anti-convulsant. Many if not all seizure meds cause drowsiness. I don’t know anything about your sensitivity to light as related to gabapentin though.
I do have a question for you, what do you think of metformin? Does it concern you that it can cause poisoning, death and serious complications? Admittedly these are all rare but still possible.
It was my understanding that insulin shouldn’t be taken with metformin? I must be wrong since obviously your doctor or pharmacist haven’t mentioned it. I only mention that because I have a friend whose doctor had him on both and them when he switched doctors, his new doctor told him that “you should never take those two medications together” so I was just curious.
Take care,
Jake
