Has anyone any experience with Gabapentin? I'm wondering if I might try it instead.
How does it compare with Nortriptyline in terms of positive effect and side-effects?

Hi Paul,
I have had full body SFN for about 3 years. I take 3600 mg's of Gabapentin per day, yet I still experience fasciculations, mostly after I have been active. Sorry, I can't really compare it to Nortriptyline because I never got to a level of efficacy with that drug because it made me too tired to function.
I wish you the best,
Cliff
