I've been taking it for years.. no need to worry about that at all.. here's one way to look at it... scroll here and see literally the huge amount of spasm questions... it helps with that... because what else it a seizure but neurologically induced nerve/muscle twitches anyway... anyhow, no side effects, no probs here whatsoever.. I just think for my situation its way too weak for me. I can't even tell if it works at all and he just upped mine from 300 to 400 mg capsules.

Likewise, I've had no problems with Gabapentin.

I've been on it for years now. It has helped with my nerve pain and the odd tingling and crawling sensations.

Correction. Kept up consistently with Gapapetin dosage, perhaps too conisrent. Side effects included severe fatigue and diziness. Ao much so i could bot make my daughters last choir concert of the year.

I had unexplained bruising, jumbles vocabukary, and a big weight gain. Shame, because they seemed to be working, other ways. 😢
