Default Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Gabapentin question

I just read on another forum, while researching Baclofen, that Gabapentin depletes Carnitine. I am going to give Acetyl-L-Carnitine a trial and wondered if anyone has experience with this, positive or negative? I have also read that it can raise blood pressure and cause insomnia. My blood pressure is fine, so hopefully it won't be a problem.
I have read the stickies on it, just hoping for some current input. Also, the recent discussion about Gabapentin causing mental deterioration has me anxious to reduce my dosage. It does control the burning in my feet and I am afraid that if I reduce the dosage and it comes back I will end up at a higher dose to control it.
I would appreciate any ideas. I am having some physical therapy for my back and ankles right now and it seems to be stirring up a lot of unpleasant sensations.
