I hope that one day, I could just take the supplements and not the gabapentin. That would be THE day!!!
Here are the stats to Drugcite.com for gabapentin:

If you click on a reported category it will open up with details.
You can print this out and take to your doctor when you discuss this possibility.
Not all negative reports are made to the FDA-- only a tiny fraction in fact. So interpreting the numbers is only a general thing. A symptom may be more common therefore than it appears on this list.
