Hi. This is very interesting and I'm sorry you can't take gabapentin. I started taking it for restless leg syndrome and it was the only thing that helped. My doctor has increased it over the years for the nerve pain I have over my body. I'm now taking 2400 mgs a day and I don't know what I would do without it. So far I've had no side effects. Fortunate, I guess. I hope you can find some relief.
