Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

If you don’t mind me asking Chris, I’m wondering how long you were taking Gabapentin before your numbness decreased? I’ve been on it about 1.5 years now, but the first year was for liver pain. After my transplant I had tapered off for about a month, but started it again for neuropathy pain. My numbness keeps getting worse though, although it does help some with pain, especially the sharp pain. And, it puts me to sleep. I take 200-300 mg just at night. When I used it for liver pain I also used medical cannabis. Unfortunately I can’t now do to interaction with one of my anti rejection meds.

Thank you! Athena

Oh Oh....I missed this question. Let's see......how long was I on Gabapentin.....I think it was quite quickly. That is why I worked on the side effects with my neurologist.
