Yup, I found it to be helpful, with a minimum of side effect. The tiredness and brain fog reduced or went away after a while and I didn't get the weight gain that people talk about. I'm seeing a pain doc now, and we've switched to Lyrica (which is a slight reformulation of Gab.) and I don't think it's as effective. I haven't found supplements to be very effective in helping, but the pain doc has good words to say about high doses of Acetyl-L-Carnitine (500-1000mg a 3x/day), and Alpha-lipoic acid, so I'm going to give them a try again (and make sure I take them every day this time). But I may switch back to the Gabapentin, too. Good luck with it, everybody's different.
