Gabapentin Experiences?
Diagnosed with severe foraminal stenosis C6. Have had tremendous nerve pain that has increased quickly. Im not sleeping as most of you know the pain intensifies at night. I am an athlete and do not take any medications. Im understanding PT can resolve this and Im looking forward to that but in the meantime can gabapentin help me sleep? I terrified of the side effects/withdrawal. If anyone else is not taking other meds other than gabapentin can advise me I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Thanks for the replies! Saw doc today and told my concerns and doc was supposed to prescibe 100mg for sleep only. I got the prescription and it says 300mg 3x day. Wth? I know everyone is different but any thoughts on withdrawal from 300mg just at night.
