I can’t take gabapentin for neuropathy because it made me so dizzy I was always in danger of falling. Not good at 75 years old.

Hi - fortunately I do ok with Gabapentin, but I sympathize with your plight as several meds I’ve been prescribed over my 6 yrs of PN were like sedatives. I shelved them, wondering why on earth a doctor would prescribe a pill (to a person already having balance and walking issues) that increases the risk of falling and further damaging our life quality? I need to walk to the bathroom safely and be able to do more in my life than doze off all day in a Lazy-Boy recliner because of medication prescribed. Good luck finding the right help for you, I know there’s so much to try!
