Yes, everyone is different. I couldn't live without gabapentin. It scares me to see it so publicly maligned. Politicians love to have a new bandwagon to jump onto so they can tell voters "look at me, I'm saving your child's life from this terrible drug, vote for me". If they restrict gabapentin any more than they already have, it will be even harder for real patients like me and millions of others to get it. Please be careful when you create a topic - try to make it helpful, not a witch-burning/venting drama. I appreciate all the people here who have given me information about their condition and rounded out my knowledge of what I have. People who rant aren't helping. Thank you. Peggy
