Funny thing is, the clinical studies done on Gabapentin show it's actually not very effective for the majority of people who take it for neuropathy (only 30% success rate in patients who take it). Just goes to show how difficult it is to treat this sickness with any kind of pharma drug. Supplements and dietary changes seem to be just as effective if not more so. Not saying it doesn't have a place for some people but the key word there is "Some". The long term effects of Gabapentin concern me greatly. The other 2 most prescribed options (Lyrica and Cymbalta) are even scarier.
