So sorry that so many people have side effects Gabapentin. I have been taking 2,400 mg every day for eight years and have had no side effects. It has saved my life! I guess I am the exception to the rule.

I took gabapentin not for neuropathy, but for for posttherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles), and I didn't have any side effects or issues tapering off. It helped me with awful pain and discomfort. From reports here on Connect, it appears to vary a lot person to person.
