 3  Fibromyalgia, CRPS, Sciatica, Pain Anxiety through the roof, moody, crying, suicidal ideations, memory loss, trouble speaking. Emotionally, this is the worst I've ever felt in my life! Like seriously scary stuff. This drug may help some people but for me the side effects are just too much It helps my pain but sadly the side effects are so bad that they outweigh the positives. Im weaning myself off, hope it's not as bad as some say to get off of. I am seriously close to committing myself on psych hold the depression is SO overwhelming F 48 2 months

 3  Nerve pain Extreme faintness, nausea, extreme weakness with no motivation to move a muscle, and blurred vision (wobbly vision). I have never had any of these side effects until last night. I was making food and it hit me like a train. All of the sudden I felt like I was about to hit the floor. Immediately felt very flushed and hot as well as the strongest urge to fall asleep. I had not eaten anything all day which was probably a big culprit to these effects. After an hour probably of feeling these effects and vomiting once, with some food eaten, I felt so much better and the tiredness wore off. I did have one alcoholic beverage earlier in the day.

 1  Lightheadedness? Vertigo? Anxiety? Drunken dizzy feeling, memory loss, chest and muscle pain, numbness tingling of limbs, narcolepsy, tiredness, confusion, constant thirsty and appetite, weight gain, unrestful sleep, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, crazy thoughts or odd behavior, lost feeling, and higher anxiety disorder. If a neurologist gives you this and you tell them all these side effect a month later but they just up the dose and tell you gabapentin don't give up these side effects then you need to find a new doctor. This stuff destroyed my life and career. I can't pay my bills from all the work I lost and medical bills from constant ER visits due to side effects. M 38 10 days

 1  Off label mood stabilizer,nerve pai Rash, insomnia for years, I eventually became a vegetable In pain. Lost memory, motor skills, slurred speech, forgetting words, dizzy, I cared about nothing & lived in pain as my true diagnosis was not addressed. I'm learning to live again. I suffered double PE's. I had not been feeling well prior. Months later I returned to normal activities, but I had a lot of chest pain, leg pain, my Dr. Insisted on antidepressants which I vehemently refused. As an end result, he suggested neurontin as he believed I was having fantom symptoms, then added it may calm me down also. I really never thought more of it. When another Dr. Weaned me off, it was like waking up from a coma and my life ruined. Not at all worth the risk! We are vigilant in Rx/OTC med side affects, this snuck up on us in a BIG way. I hate it, I'm angry, my legit problem was ignored. I believe he was simply tired of me. F 52 4 years
