Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

hello @cwallen9 .... oh never hear of Zonegran before.... may i ask how long you have been on it ... be nice if you could get some pain relief soon. Good that you have not had bad side effects yet... have you had any side effects even minor? Am afraid I always go on line to check new meds out but sometimes this means then I am too afraid to take them... especially if they list eye problems as a possible side effect as I already have Glaucoma so don't think I should try these... but Clonazepam I do take has side effects tookto but at least I get some sleep. Sometimes we have not much choice... Best of luck. Take care, J.

Just for about 5 days. It is probably not the full dose either. You know how it is - it can weeks or months to find out if it helps. I will try to keep everyone posted - especially if it helps.

Hello J,
We always have a choice. I had sleep difficulties too and tried Ambien. It wasn't effective for me so I quit taking it and I figured I’d sleep when I needed to but this was risky since lack of or poor sleep is frequently a seizure trigger in Epilepsy.
I decided to used all the proper sleep protocols which I believe reset my Circadian rhythm. So my days of staying awake for 24 to 120 hours are a thing of the past for the most part anyway.
“Am afraid I always go on line to check new meds out but sometimes this means then I am too afraid to take them.“
You take Klonopinin but are fearful of other meds? You did know your Clonazepam & Gabapentin can both cause multiple
eye-related side effects, right?
Have you tried magnesium for sleep? I'd try that before taking a chance on such a powerful drug as Klonopin. I suspect your a woman and if so you may already be deficient.
Take care,
Jake
