@sallylynn I researched online and gabapentin is excreted through the kidneys so could accumulate and cause toxicity, theoretically. But your kidney function is not too bad. Ask your doc or pharmacist.
They start gabapentin at 100mg generally which is a very low dose, so it might not work until you go up on the dose. It might also take time to work- ask your doc or pharmacist.
I am unable to take gabapentin. Alpha lipoic acid helps a little. But I stopped trying to find answers and treatments a long time ago! I think the difference, though, is that you are in pain and I had sensations but not horrible pain. Maybe pain management could help-? After neurology though!
