Many people with neurogenic itch take Gabapentin. One dermatologist suggested that to me, but I view it as a last resort, due to concerns about side effects.

Also wondering about those who take it?.......Does it work to reduce or eliminate the itching and burning? I would not want to take it if it is only partially effective.

I have been taking Gabapentin for about three weeks. It does help, but I still have issues after I shower at night. I sleep much better & have a little memory issue-it takes a few minutes to remember something. It sure beats the bad burning that I had experienced.
