I am taking gabapentin (generic for neurontin) for my CRPS, 600 mg three times a day. I've been taking it for a couple of years, but I have been having trouble with nausea for the last number of months.
I attribute it to the gabapentin as it is my primary medication for CRPS. I have taken dramamine (car sick pills) for the nausea and it has helped sometimes, but there are some days when the dramamine won't touch the nausea and I end up house bound until it clears. Anybody else have this issue and how do you deal with it? The gabapentin has been quite effective for me, (verified with a couple of times trying to wean off of it which brought more pain back) so I really don't want to stop taking it or change drugs; you know how that can go sometimes. Thanks in advance. Every day is an adventure with this condition! Last edited by birchlake; 09-12-2012 at 05:19 AM. |

I am now on gabapentin 3,300mg/day with no adverse effects that I know of. And I still feel the pain but the misfiring is much lessened.

I have the same issue. But was told that it was probably a combination of my medications making me sick. Either that or I got internal rsd.

Hi, and sorry you have trouble with this medicine. Please tell your doctor. I could not take this drug, and I tried three times. Nausea, but worse yet I almost felt suisidal. I have struggled with depression, but this set me over the top, and I did tell my doctors right away. I have been prescribed this by three docs. and I get the same reaction every time. I won't try it a fourth time for sure!!! I am currently using a lotion that works really well for RSD or PN. ginnie
