Hello
Yes, I have been taking Gabapentin for several months. What I do is take my doses with food and my evening dose before bed. As of now I can say I have not had any side effects and I have had success in eliminating my pain and numbness and tingling of my extremities.
I know that the package insert list numerous possible side effects but most of these are very rare. The most frequent side effects are nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. The first couple of times I took the drug I did become drowsy but after a few days that went away. I had great success with the therapy.
