User Reviews for gabapentin oral

I had the side effects of slurring, dizziness and felt like I was drugged for two weeks and I only took the medicine for one week...NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Does anyone know if this drug affects males sexually? I cannot ejaculate. Is it this drug?

hiv positive. I've been told that I have "neuroupathy," yet no one can tell me exactly what the definition of that word entails. Gabapentin works though. They thought I would be in a wheel-chair by now and that it would either "go away, or it won't"... I chose that it will. I walk only with a cane to ease others minds; and so people don't think that I'm drunk...lol. Godsend? Perhaps. Necessary? For now.

I have not experienced a dramatic decrease in burning sensation on mid/lower chest area and upper right back area. In addition, my blood pressure has increased since beginning this medication approximately 15 weeks ago.

Have body and scalp itching that is terrible. Lotions help only for short while. Tried this medication for month, prescribed by dermatologist, and it sapped all energy, was uncoordinated, listless. He said condition was caused by "nerve endings"...Anyone here experienced this?

it gives me a headache and makes me walk funny. I get dizzy. but I have to take it because the pain is so bad.

This is one of the drugs my doctor perscribed along with others for major depression. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be helping along with the others.

Gabapentin was first prescribed years ago for nerve pain related to migraine headaches with zero success so I was taken off. This year while explaining to a Psychiatrist about my non stop worrying and daily anxiety, he prescribed Gabapentin. I told him that I had taken it before for nerve pain with no success but he said that this time it would be tried for something totally different. I will try anything once and to my suprise, it worked. The doses had to be moved around and broken up some, but I hardly ever use any type of fast acting drug anymore to stop anxiety. I take 900mg in the am and then the same dose in the pm. I also take 300mg midafternoon. Many of my other doctors (as I have numerous medical problems)have said that they have NEVER heard of using Gabapentin for anxiety and that they would keep this tip for future patients. I have to admit that I was very skeptical, but for someone who used to take Alprazolam almost daily, I now only take one or two of the 1mg pills of Lorazepam, every few weeks depending on what is going on in my life. I will forever be thankful to this Psychiatrist. He says that it is nothing new to the Psychiatrict Department, just other Physicians.Read More Read Less

my doctor perscribed gabapentin to me for Restless Leg Syndrome and the "pins and needles" feeling in my arms. Yes, my arms. It does make me sleepy during the early evening. And when I'm getting close to the next dosage the pain in my arms and legs starts to come back.

It helps the pain I have associated with MS. I've noticed the pain returns if I'm late taking it... 3x daily, 300mg each

I have noticed if I don't take the medication on time my pain is worse, so it must work.

THIS PILL WORKS GREAT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH R.S.D OR PAIN. I LOVE THIS I CAN GET ON WITH MY LIFE WITH OUT MUCH PAIN HOLDING ME BACK.

I take 2ea. tablets 100mg capsules at night. So far no problems

This medication is making me hungry all the time. I have gained about ten pounds in the past three months.

Began using after spinal chord injury , transverse myalgia caused by a parasite. Daily 500 mg 4 X but want to reduce it to increase my alertness and because in elderly it can 'hurt' the liver.

I have been on the drug for approx. 4 months for pain associated with Paratrigeminal Neuralgia. I find that it does seem to assist the Tegretol that I am on but I am curious as to whether it can cause leg pain. My leg pain only seemed to start after I started taking this drug but it could be due to something else that the dr. has not found yet I guess.

I take large amounts to treat severe migraines. It has helped moderately to reduce severity with the pain but also has just about eradicated all the flashing lights & loss of vision. The 'fuzzy' head feeling is a little better but I continue with the 5 day headaches during my period, mid cycles & air pressure changes.
