I've never taken gabapentin but know people who have and NOW off it and did suffer with enough side effects. I've been using Gaba as part of my sleep combo and thinking gaba could be helping with nerve damage. I deal with damage from hip replacement where I ended up with a lot of femoral nerve damage which has caused issues down my whole right side into my foot.
