    At first the med helped with nerve pain, burning in my feet and RLS. Was taking 900 mg a day, two months ago, dr. increased the dosage to 1200 mg. I am so sick, severe headaches, extreme mood swings, gained 20 pounds. Also nightmares, memory loss, dropping things. I have started taking just 400 mg a day but no relief from the nausea, headaches. Also profuse sweating. I hate this drug.

    I'm diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Doctor prescribed gabapentin 1 pill 3 times daily. Been taking them for about 2 years and haven't noticed anything different. I'm afraid to take more as my husband was on this stuff and had memory loss and confusion.
