Gabapentin is a dangerous drug. A class action against Pfizer last year resulted in them being heavily fined. I was on it for 2 years. It was the worse time of my life. I had brain fog, memory problems, dizzy, unsteady, headaches, couldn’t bathe myself, cook, clean, drive, was dependent on my daughter. I crawled to the toilet when she was at work. It took 2 weeks to withdraw.
I have fibromyalgia, bilateral trigenimal neuralgia, 2 full tears in my right rotator cuff, tear in my right bicep with fluid, partial tear in left rotator cuff (old softball injury) osteoarthritis throughout body, hyperthyroidism, IBS, TMJ, GERD, Left hip bursitis, chronic fatigue,
Right knee extreme pain seizes at night
Severe pain in both thighs
Neuropathic pain on left foot
Fluid retention
L4-5/S1 disc bulge
T2-C1 disc deterioration
Tinnitus left ear
Lack circulation in feet and hands
Sciatica
Extreme Hair Loss
High Prolactin

Please take care and try use alternative like medicinal cannabis it’s natures medicine. I have been making oil, balm, edibles for 5yrs.
Long-term use of gabapentin can permanently damage your organs including your brain, kidneys, and liver. Long-term gabapentin use has also been linked with muscle weakness, respiratory failure, and loss of memory.
Think about other alternatives before poisons from pharma drugs.

Thank you for your interest and help. I am not taking Gabapenton, I am on Pregabapentin a very low dose 50 mg twice a day. I also had a very hard time on a higher dose, 75 mg three times a day, but at that time I really needed the higher dose. I slept 18 hours a day. I am so sorry to hear about all your medical problems. The lack of circulation in your hands may be Raynaud's Disease. It is important that you keep your hands warm. I wear the gloves with the open ends during the day. Raynaud's can also cause the circulation problems in your feet. Have you thought about Knee joint replacement. I have both of my knees replaced and it is wonderful. No more pain, I also have my hips replaced and the same answer. May God Bless you and bring you relief from your pain.

Tarm56. After reading your posting on Gabapentin I searched out info from Mayo clinic. While Gabba can lead to fatigue, dizzy sleepy. It does not directly affect some of the things you said including kidneys of which I and others in this group deal with daily. Johnmacc
