@crownpoodle what was your dosage? Doc had me on 600mg a day. 300 in the morning and 300 in the evening. It wasn’t doing much of anything for the pain/spasms. He upped it to 800 yesterday, 400 morning & 400 evening. That knocked my ass out last night!
Or, lol I was so active yesterday that was what wore me out n knocked me out… one or the other! I’ll know tonight when I go to bed which it was, lol

The side effects are what can be, not always all of them usually only some of them by folks. It’s different for each person. the drowsy, sedation and dizzy were all I noticed. But you know how far it is to the bed from my desk, lol with the walker I made it and passed TF out… I’ll take that over the not sleeping!

Gabapenten helped with sleep but it made me dizzy and not sure on my feet. I quit taking it because I thought I might fall.

No pain/spasms, no tossing & turning, having to get up every couple of hours. It’s only 15’ to the bed from this chair. I use the rollaround walker and Rose is right beside me in case I get too dizzy… I slept like a log.
Bit sluggish this morning, but the coffee is strong, black, and delish. lol I’m already feeling so much better than I have in many days!

Well it’s good that you got sleep as that is important. Falling down right now I doubt would be a good thing for you though so be careful dude you surely don’t need that to happen.

I can’t walk one step on my own, without the walker.

Well if you finally got some good sleep, you shoulda done this years ago. Hopefully it continues. Even if you feel like a zombie in the morning. A few cups of Java will straighten you out. Good deal man!

That was me @JohnnyPotseed . I get “some” relief when my feet get bad. I just have a hard time with some of the side effects. I take 600 mg at night. The gaba makes me feel pretty wonky in the morning. Some nasty hot flashes where I need to find a towel! I think it was @MoBilly said he quit taking it. Mood swings? I think was the problem.
