Severe nerve pain here from cancer. Gabapentin with psych/depression meds was a freaking nightmare! Now-it DID help with pain if taken with 1 Advil. But not worth the neuro side effects with psych meds! Holy moley! Tread carefully, my friend. Yes, I have. I take Gabapentin for back pain. I was also taking Cymbalta which I've been weaning off of slowly. I've had 2 surgeries. A decompression and disc replacement on my cervical spine and also a spinal fusion in my lumbar spine. I have back pain with most lifting activities that the Gabapentin helps with. However, the constant pain and hypersensitivity from my current Fibro diagnosis (and complete back/neck spasms) made it impossible to deal with the constant bone and joint pain. I found that the relief of being able to keep moving around did more good to my mental health than the foggy and confusing side-effects. My general understanding is that they think it has a good effect on radicular pain, but not so much on back pain which it is more often now than before prescribed to treat. What are some useful treatments (pharmacological or otherwise) for back pain? Was prescribed it for pain (did dick for the pain) but did help mildly with some underlying anxiety so prescribing doctor let me continue taking it and also told me I could quit it at any time cold turkey. Well a few months back I did just that and it was a month, month-and-a-half of restless leg, and emotions stuck either in rage or despair mode. edit subscriptions. popular-all-usersAskReddit-pics-funny-movies-gaming-worldnews-news-todayilearned-nottheonion-explainlikeimfive-mildlyinteresting-DIY-videos-OldSchoolCool I was on Gabapentin for years I don't think it helped my pain much but it did help my anxiety. When I came off I only removed 1 pill per month because it was significantly helping anxiety so my psychiatrist warned me to back off slow. The nerve pain came roaring back in the transition, but it's better with higher doses and we will probably up the dose next month.

It’s been what I was expecting - I’ve been though opiate withdrawal - BUT I have the most horrendous lower back pain, which I didn’t have prior to starting taking it. I take 300 mg of gabapentin 3 times a day for my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which causes frequent partial dislocations. It helped with my pain an amazing amount, gave me a lot of mobility back because the pain was more controlled. It worked great for my back pain. I was able to hold off on back surgery for several years on it. Any side effects (a little woozy the first few days) went away quickly.
