I am currently taking Gabapentin, and the dosage was just increased from 200mg per day to 400, with the low dosage I felt nothing at all, but I did have and do have trouble sleeping and I have gained some weight, it also makes me sleepy, but everyone is different, my NS said that it's best to start out very low with the dosage and increase it very gradually, hope thia helps!
