I thought all the side effects had dissipated?

A lot of people have reported the tiredness & fogginess from gabapentin. That can take a bit longer to subside (than the week or so for the others we discussed) - possibly a month or so.

Not sure what is worse, pain or side effects of drugs?
That's the $64,000 question. Earlier in my journey, I went through a period of depression. The S/E of everything they tried (and they tried them all) were worse than the depression. I got so angry about the whole situation that the anger motivated me past/through the depression better than the meds.

You have options for the headaches, but they'll depend on the cause/reason.
