Gabapentin is the only prescription drug I take and if I had a choice I would not. I think I should probably be taking a larger dose but prefer to try to keep it at the lowest dose possible. I have found that taking an nsaid along with it helps although I can’t do it too often because it causes extreme vertigo for me upon awakening. The side effects from gabapentin are numerous, I’ll never understand why the drug co.’s can’t come up with a better solution.
