I’m new here. This might be an old post but I found it googling Gabapentin and MS society.
I have to say my experience has been bad. Very bad. It helped with the neuro pain (a bit) and hypersensitivity. But my god did I have memory issues! I couldn’t finish sentences. I would lose words. I could barely follow when people talked at work. I had eye focus issues. Anger, irritability and stomach problems.
I was on 3x 300mg a day (I took all at night because I had to drive and work in the day. My GP knew but didn’t say you stop). I found I would need another if I was having a bad day or woke up in the night. 5 years I was on this stuff. Then I decided to come off. I lowered too quick and had terrible withdrawals. Tinnitus, nausea, shakes, panic attacks. Outbursts of anger. I realised after I came off just how much I shouldn’t have been on this. I had a history of substance abuse, and mental health problems related to stress and depression. Drs never thought twice about putting me on this which was wrong in my opinion. It played a huge part in a very important relationship being lost. Be careful.
