I felt nervous and sensitive to the air conditioner tonight ... Does Gabapentin make you feel Shakey or nervous ?

Wow, air conditioners make you ache just because it activates my joint pains but I hate being hot, I know that sounds crazy. Lol But the weather also plays a big part in your pain so it's hard to tells good luck and pay attention to your triggers.

I was very very very sleepy when I was one it.... I also did begin getting muscle spasms and twitches. After that came muscle weakness.... Idk if it was caused from gab. But when they took me off of it.... It improved.... Not resolved... Just improved

I take gabapentin and that is a side effect that I experience often. At one point I stopped taking it to eliminate the shakes but had to go back since the replacement did nothing for me. It was so bad that I would often fall down. Now I use a walker to assist me with balance.

I've been taking 600mg of gabapentin a day and I don't feel any different. I told my doctor that it wasn't helping with my pain and he told me it takes time for it to build up in my system, but I never felt any benefit of taking it.
