Gabapentin
peripheral neuropathy
"Had surgery 17 mths ago L2 -S1 bulging herniated discs & severe spinal stenosis. Doc scraped too close to spinal canal; had to repair spinal fluid leak. Ended up w/foot drop & severe neuropathy below knee to toes. Surgeon ordered Gabapentin b4 surgery; increased gradually out of desperation after surgery as pain unbearable. Is still bad 2 x's; often sign I've missed a dose. I take 200mg. 2x/day & 900mg @ bedtime, total daily dose 1300mg. I also take Baclofen & Meloxicam. I'll say I would be out of my mind from pain if not for Gabapentin. I've had some blurry vision early a.m. that hangs on for short time, probably from higher bedtime dose, but otherwise no problems. I'm so, so thankful for this med."
