Hi Sunny, it’s unfortunate that most all drugs can have negative side effects. I don’t know why pharma can’t develop drugs without them. I think this type of article serves as a warning as to possible side effects, there are not many articles which tout the benefits. Luckily I, and a couple of friends who suffer from neuropathy have had the benefit of pain relief. I did experience some side effects initially with gabapentin which went away after a few weeks. For us, there really is no better alternative.

Hi Helennicola, thanks for you reply. I'm so glad to hear the Gabapentin is helping you and that your side - effects have subsided.
This drug helps dull my pain but the side-effects are HUGE! I hate them! And I'm only on 800 mg. /day!
Take good care, Sunny 🙏😊

I have been off the Gabapentin wagon for years,noticed my brain had a bit of misfires. Dr just upped my next attempt to get some relief,using Wellbutrin up to 450mg,high dose I know. Only been a few days of this dose,been on 150mg 2 x a day with no change in mood or burn. I tend to get disinterested in people,places and things,maybe because I think my feet will burst into flames and hurt people. But alas it doesn't escape or show any signs of of external fires! Take Care everyone i need your thoughts to assure myself I'm not alone out here.
