Different things work for different people. Please don't criticize gabapentin in any public forum. Criticism makes politicians control harder which makes it even harder for me to get. If it wasn't for gabapentin, I would have looked for something sharp to cut my wrists with. Humans can only take so much pain for so long, then, we break. I cannot live without it. I hope someone invents something that works well for you. Thanks! Peggy
