Posted by myrrh739 @myrrh739, Sep 11, 2023

I was diagnosed with chronic pain and Neuropathy, they gave me Gabapentin 300 mg
4 times a day, it’s helpful,
Is anyone on Gabapentin?

Hopefully she will manage the Phantom Nerve Pain with the Gabapentin. Please tell her “ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE “

I've taken it in the past with no more relief than advil.
I'm on a full year of suffering, went a year ago to neuro surgeon, he said "nothing he can do"
I'm putting my foot down and want relief.

Me also
Was on Gabapentin for few years and didn’t really think it helped me much.
Was up to 1800mg per day when my new Neuro doc told me to try and get off it, which is what I did.
Didn’t realize it caused so many cognitive issues,which now I can look back on and attribute to the drug.

im taking gabapentin 300 mg just before i go to bed at night and because my dr prescribed to me when i told her i was planning to try medical marihuana for my rehumatoid arthritis wich is a lot of pain every single day i was also complaining of sciatic and to top it off about a year and a half ago i fell and broke my hip i had surgery but since then im on a walker and im very devastated
cause i was a very active and fast doing things now it takes me about an hour or so to cook my very simple meals especialy because my deformed hands and fingers due to my so cruel RA. not to mention my toes . to finish this poor story let me tell that "advil dual action" is helping me to keep moving and planing to continue gabapentin as long as i dont get any side efects, thanks for reading me
