Sorry to hear that you are feeling so crappy right now, Fewdalord!

I was prescribed Gabapentin (Neurontin) just after I was diagnosed with RSD but it didn't help for me and I dealt with a lot of fatigue whilst on it. I think that was one of the reasons why I came off it, as well as the weight gain (I put over 30lbs on in the few months/weeks I was on it)! My Doctor kept telling me that the side effects would settle down but in my case, they didn't and it got to the point where I couldn't physically get out of bed as I was so tired.

I still deal with a LOT of fatigue now but it isn't as bad as when I was on the Neurontin thankfully.

I hope the side effects settle down for you real soon and you get to feeling better. Give it some time for your body to adjust to it and maybe speak to your doctor about it also to see what he suggests you do.

Keep us posted!
