it made me feel disoriented. i felt v little difference in the nerve pain i have in my thighs and pelvis after like 3 days then i upped my dosage since i thought it would help more, but i stopped taking it since it didnt help as much as i wanted it to and i felt like i was taking way too much for me to not really feel any better. maybe it will work better for u though. just make sure to test it out one day in the morning before u take it on any day u have to be functional in society lol. the spacey symptom started as soon as i started taking it.
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member, I took gabapentin for four days and refused to take it again. I'm okay with my low dose of Lyrica.
Gabapentin did help me with pain within about a week but unfortunately it causes a lot of side effects, it made me feel very sedated and drugged and then I had lung issues from it. Lyrica was better but you absolutely can't drink any alcohol while taking it, and you also can't skip doses once you're on a higher level dose since it can cause withdrawal. I would watch very carefully for any side effects from gabapentin & switch to Lyrica or another nerve med if you have any issues with it
It's an updated version of gabapentin with fewer side effects. It doesn't bother me.at all.
It did nothing for me but make me feel weird
