I've been taking Nortriptyline for nearly one year to help manage my IPN symptoms--mainly paresthesia.
I have constant fasciculations in my calves (ie twitching), and this has recently seemed to spread to other areas. I read online that Nortripyline is actually sometimes contra-indicated for twitching since it can provoke it. Has anyone any experience with Gabapentin? I'm wondering if I might try it instead. How does it compare with Nortriptyline in terms of positive effect and side-effects? Thanks Paul |

I have had full body SFN for about 3 years. I take 3600 mg's of Gabapentin per day, yet I still experience fasciculations, mostly after I have been active. Sorry, I can't really compare it to Nortriptyline because I never got to a level of efficacy with that drug because it made me too tired to function. I wish you the best, Cliff |

Thanks Cliff. That's encouraging.
How does Gabapentin help with your neuropathic symptoms? Does it have any side-effects (worth worrying about)? Cheers Paul |
