@wheelerma I forgot about this! I had terrible tremors while on gabapentin, at times I could not even sign my name. I remember going to the ER and the nurse rolling her eyeballs at me since I couldn’t even hold a pen to complete some paperwork. I guess she thought I was faking? Who would WANT to fake that?

I have been off Gaba for several weeks. How long did yours last? Have you found anything for pain? I even have Ketamin (sp) nasal spray and it doesn't help. Thank you.

I just started Gabapentin two weeks ago. Have been on 300mg x3 times a day for anxiety. I went up to 450 last night and have had tremors all night long. Didn’t sleep. Doctor says it’s anxiety and wants me to take 600mg. I’m scared to now. The tremors were pretty aggressive at several points of the night. I was wondering, when you went to the hospital, were they able to do anything for you to make them go away? Just trying to decide if I want to take this larger dose and if the side effects are more debilitating so I have a remedy for it.
