Gabapentin Question:
Good morning, all: I am asking this question to the largest group of you who may be on gabapentin. I started 6 weeks ago on 300, 3x a day but needed more relief so am on 600, 600, and 900 for what I think may be SFN, but will get my formal diagnosis next week. I have just developed a metallic taste in my mouth and my tongue is very red. (My dentist ruled out any real dental concerns.) My question: did any of you switch to a better pain med (such as Lyrica or an antidepressant) that took away your pain but did not give you the metallic taste? I want to present alternatives to my neurologist at my follow-up since I'm afraid he will dismiss it as an unfortunate side effect. Will appreciate all your help. Many thanks.
