Yes, I have been on it for years and babe never had any problems at all with it. I recently had a cervical fusion and the hospital doctor told me to stop gabapentin until I saw my surgeon again, I had horrible steering pain in my chest muscles into my shoulders, stopping it was a huge mistake and the doctor made an error, I was told to start and by the end of the day that part of my pain was gone. I know a lot of people are saying negative things here but but don’t be swayed as everybody is different so you can try it and see how it works for you , I’m sure of the doctors prescribing feels it might help you. Good luck to you!

My experience with Gabapentin was simple. I was on it for several years. It was a total waste of time and money. No benefits, No anything but money going out. Everyone is different, so be careful.

I responded weeks ago very negatively. I really appreciate your response. I hated it but we are all so different. How we got where we are and what we are struggling with. I will be a little less positive about how "correct" I am. Thinking about it more I still won't take it but it is obviously very good for others. I will also not be so quick to take advice either. I hope you keep getting better and yes doctors are human too.
