I know for some it works and I can't imagine that it will be banned. Unfortunately it's overprescribed for just about everything. Thats how they got in this mess.
● I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I do not believe that is the case for everyone. I have been on 3600 mg of Gabapentin daily for the last year or so. I do not get sleepy or disoriented in any way. It is the only thing that has ever helped me with my neuropathic pain. Some people I believe have been diagnosed with neuropathic pain when in actuality it was something else. That is why I believe it did not work for them.
