Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Mar 28 4:36pm | Replies (478)Comment receiving replies
My son takes 900mg a day for peripheral ploy neuropathy and after a half days work falls asleep at the drop of a hat. This with depression drugs . I wonder if anyone has this sleep issue with gaba and/ loss of appetite? He’s 6’4”, 240 and only 50 yrs old but is doing good to consume 500 calories a day

How often does he take it and at what dose.
Drowsiness is definitely common with seizure medications. There is an extended release version that may help improve any side effects.
You mentioned your son is only consuming 500 calories a day. Why so few? So few calories may be contributing to his fatigue. Even if your son is trying to lose weight he’s certainly not eating a healthy nutritious diet.
Best of luck,
