I believe Gabapentin has caused my very mild peripheral neuropathy in my feet to worsen. I've only been on 200mg 3x a day for 7 days and each day the pain has increased. I noticed that when I went to bed @ 9pm having taken 200mg Gaba at 8pm my pain continued until I fell asleep. When I awoke after 7 hrs sleep my feet had no pain. Then later in the day having taken 200mg @ 8am & 2pm the pain was unbearable. Then the next morning, no pain upon waking. I just stopped the Gaba this morning so it's too early to tell if the afternoon pain will return. Does anyone have experience with neuropathy stopping & starting like I'm experiencing? I had a pinched nerve at L5/S1 since Dec 2019. On March 30, 2020 I had surgery the successfully fixed the bulging disk and bone spur that was impacting the nerve. Some of the pain-all in my right foot & calf is due to the pinched nerve which is still healing but there was never any pain in my left foot until I started the Gabapentin. Although a nerve conduction test on both legs in Feb 2020 did show mild peripheral neuropathy in both legs. JamesinSonoma
