WOW I think you're the first person I've ever heard say that! (the thinking straight part) Usually (self included), I read/see something about gabapentin/brain/memory fog and/or memory loss. The stuff affected my ability to think/focus/reason/recall so badly I couldn't function effectively or tolerably. I still have after-effects from it (and others) years later.

If only, if only...

[Please don't read anything into this; I'm happy for anyone who can find relief from pain or its effects.]
