Hi i was diagnosed with 3 herniated discs and spinal stenosis, tried an epideral shot but it didn't help so doctor said we could try a drug called gabapentin. I knew nothing about the drug, i started off with a small dose and worked my ways up to 300 mg 3 x daily did fine with that dosage then was suppose to up it gradually to 600mg 3 x daily. Soon found out i can't take that amount it made me so dizzy and lightheaded as to where i wanted to pass out and also gave me severe diarrhea. Talk with nurse and they said to stay at 300 mg dose 3 x daily.
Still having some pain but not as bad as before starting it. Does anyone have any advice on anything else to take. Thanks for reading.
