Marlboro, NJ

I have burning sensation thru my back. He told me to start it after Thanksgiving. I'm a little nervous. He gave me a sample of 10 @ 300 mg. I am to take it at dinner time... along with plaquenil.

I was worried on starting gabapentin as well ...i only had a couple days of feeling out of it, but i havent had any side effects. i also have a family member with fibro and she said it helped with her nerve pain... it has helped me.

Unfortunately, for me, all of those brain altering drugs gives me double vision.

I hope that you will have better outcomes, cause they can really help.

I’ve been on Gabapentin for years & it’s helped me so much with blocking out nerve pain. I couldn’t stand the pain without it.
