I have been having leg and foot pain so took a gabpenitne.I had nightmares,felt disorientated,hungry and a headache.
I reluctantly take baclofen but getting used to that.My GP suggests ampytripline for nerve pain but ms nurse suggests I give gabapentin longer.
Any input would be welcome.
I tried gabapentin but it didn't agree with me had no relief and all the side effects. Now take prevailing and amitriptyline and they work for me, been on these for about 5 years I think it's what ever suits you and its a question of trial and error. Good luck.xx
@A MyMSTeam Member I'm sorry, I understand how you feel. But do whatever you need to do to feel better ❤
I take 300 3 times a day. I'm not really sure how it affects me as I'm on a ton of other medicines. I have noticed that I think I see something or have the feeling someone's watching me which I didn't have before I started it. I barely sleep too.
I hated gabapentin too,I've been taking Lyrica for a few days now,it gives me a good sleep but other than that too early to comment on other pros and cons
I hated gabapentin--it made my teeth crumble and others wrote of this too on these sites but drs always deny it. I take Lyrica and Wellbutrin for my leg and feet pain (and elbows, wrists and neck). Very effective. On Gabapentin, I'd wake up as if coming out of anesthesia. My face would be bloodless and my eyes dilated and totally disoriented. I HATED it. And the dry mouth. Yucky drug in my opinion.
