I was prescribed Gabapentin for small fiber neuropathy. It didn't work but had a host of terrible side effects. I was told that the side effects were not from the gabapentin. Then an awesome internist and a team member said they were side effects. Just like yours. The tapor seems slow and there are nasty withdrawal. But getting of this medication will be so worth it.

Did anyone have ear rings and blury eyes. Gabapentin was justhard on my body

I just saw this post and I have been taking gabapentin for nerve pain following spinal surgery. I really can’t tell if it is working at all since I still have nerve pain. My orthopedic surgeon increased my dose to 1200 mg. per day and I had a lot of trouble staying awake but no change in nerve pain. Would it be safe to say that gabapentin does not work for me?
Are there any other nerve pain meds that are not class 1 drugs that have helped anyone?
