The doctor had me on gabapentin after a drunk driver ran over me. It didn’t do squat.
Has anyone seen any effect from taking this drug?
it only helped very slightly- but wasn’t worth the $$ so i quit it
supposedly ALA Alpha Lipoic Acid is claimed to help with neuropathy pain=- but I didn’t feel any difference- many of the so called ‘natural doctors’ call for using ALA- but my understanding is that once the nerves are dead or damaged- there is no reviving them again-
I just had an ingrown toenail breaK off and work it’s way through my toe, and pop out the end of my toe- thankfully the neuropathy helped mask the pain of that ordeal by quite a bit- only when it got it’s worst did i feel the pain from the nail sliver-
it’s weird though how the feet can be nearly dead to feeling, but still hurt
Has completely suppressed my diabetic neuropathy, allowing me to sleep without pain in my feet.

It controlled my wife’s temporomandibular joint pain. It had reoccurred after she took Zoloft, and it was severe to the point that I thought she’d stop eating. Increasing the dose controlled it again.
“Has anyone seen any effect from taking this drug?”
me ... but totally negative ... a couple of doses and i thought i was in Hell ... worse drug i’ve ever tried to take in my life ...
i was prescibed it for neuropathic pain from a nerve damaged in my forearm by a cardiac catheterization procedure ... fortunately, one of my docs suggested IV infusions of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) for neuropathy and after two infusions, the pain was permanently cured ...
I was put on Gabapentin to relieve sciatic pain prior to spine surgery. I can't say I noticed any major improvement. What I did notice was a dramatic improvement for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) which was not previously relieved by other drugs. After surgery for my back I continued to take a reduced dosage (900mg) of Gabapentin to successfully control the RLS.
Yes, Bad effects
