Gabapentin side effects?

I've been on Gaba/Neutontin for a long time also, but lower doses than you.
Even with my 300 mg, Twice a day usually, I had a lot of dizziness which was a trade-off for less pain. (MS, fibro, arthritis)
When a pain management doctor prescribed a new med on top of the GAB, it added to the dizziness and I suffered a fall for the first time ever-- Still recuperating from that injury.
Then I quit all pain meds because I didn't wanna fall again! I am 69 with osteoporosis-- Really don't wanna be breaking any bones right now!
So now I'm in pain. Lots of pain. Taking Ibuprofen + Acetaminophen and feeling really LOUSY.
Thanks for Sharing your own experience.

Maybe taking the gabapentin at night would help. It’s 1/2 life would be gone by morning.

Acetaminophen may cause lousiness.

Try CBD with a little bit of TCB. You can get it in capsules or oil. I prefer it to opioid or Advil or Acetaminophen. It is not cheap because insurance won’t cover it. It works !
