I'm on 1200mg gabapentin now and it takes the edge off the pain. I don't think I've had any side effects. I've only been on for 6-8 weeks. I also recently started marijauna and it helps the crazy sensations better than anything ive tried
Hi Canagirl
Did you try Lyrica before you started gabapentin? My Doctor mentioned Nortriptiline but I tried Amitryptiline, the SE were skipped and rapid heartbeats. So I stopped it. It's too bad bc its used for helping to sleep too.
Did you get the private message I sent you? You should have received an email from here to your personal email saying you have a message..
Still trying to figure out how this PM thing works. I did get your emails tho..
Do you "smoke" the marijuana, or is it cannabis oil? I want to try marijuana so bad, I hear its good for pain, but THC gives me chest pains..bummer. This whole Idiopathic small fiber neuropathy sucks!!
