I can be susceptible to mental side effects of medicines. I took it for several months for nerve pain. It put me into a fog and made me terrible to live with. I said and did bad things i have would never consider on a clear mind. It almost led to a divorce of a perfectly stable marriage. I have it listed as an allergy on my medical records. Oh and it didnt do jack squat for nerve pain. It takes a couple weeks for the effects to start to manifest. My mother in law came home with some for back and nerve pain. I warned her of it. About 10 days later the cops ended up there, that woman went nuts and is still nuts. Probably still on that medication.

Made me mean and wanted to fight anyone at the drop of a hat!!!

Are we talking about the same drug?

I’m taking it 3 times a day, manage to share the road with some awful drivers all day without road rage. I really don’t feel anything other than my sciatic isn’t throbbing.

One dizzy spell in a year.

Thought about calling the doc for a script for these shingles. Felt like there was a hot curling iron in my armpit when I woke up today. Does it work and did you have side effects?

Yes same drug hobbie. I would like to add to my previous post that yes it made me mean and that was alot of the problems that it caused in my life at the time. Any of those drugs that change the chemical makeup of your brain to sort out nerve pain can have bad side effects that are pretty random and not always easily relatable to taking a pill. Once i had surgery and got sorted out and off all the dang pills the army was giving me i finally got my life sorted back out. I was taking the gabapentin because i had been on narcotic pain killers too long and they had to take me off. I was taking all the way up to MS contin before i just had to quit. My life started spiraling out of control during all this slowly and really crashed once i got discharged. Once i was able to get off the dang pills and got my pain sorted out i realized all the crazy crap i had been pulling was not me at all and was because of the dang fist full of pills i was taking per doctors orders. I never took any pills off the street or any of that. I was just taking my medicine as prescribed. I try to put my 2 cents out when people are asking about medicine like this just so they have more information than i did. Now i am very very hesitant to take any pills at all except the very few that i have to take to have any quality of life. My gout prevention pill and arthritis med and one for my ptsd.

The point im trying to make is please be hesitant to just take crap docs will give you because half of it is them just experimenting around to sort you out and it can have horrible life altering side effects before the docs figure it out. Or it may not effect you at all. More than likely though the person taking the pill wont notice any changes themselves and may need to talk to your loved one to help keep an eye on you. ive also taken pills similar to this and had bad suicidal thoughts that immediately ceased once the pill wore off. I think i may be a little more sensitive to certain pills than other people. these are just my experiences and you wont read them on any side effect labels.

My wife and her aunt say they can't go without it.

I'm guessing they mean because it helps make the pain more tolerable because it doesn't make you feel high or anything like that. I assume they take it for some kind of nerve pain.
