product reviews

I just started taking this about a week ago and so far it has worked well. It has reduced the burning, stabbing pains I was having in my legs greatly but it hasn't reduced the numbness that occurs when I stand for more than 15 minutes, hopefully it will be able to help in that area as well.

Easy to take, just swallow the capsules three times a day. This medicine helps reduce the neuropathy pain I have in my legs and I have not noticed any side effects within this first week of using it.

None so far!

I think this is one of THE greatest products for those of us with severe neuropathy. I had tried Lyrica, without success, but I have been on 300 mg of gabapentin 3x/day for about a year. It has helped tremendously. Don't get me wrong--it's not a panacea, but it works the majority of the time. As the saying goes, "I never leave home without it." LOL

It works rapidly and didn't seem to require a long time to build up in my bloodstream in order to be effective. It's in an easy to swallow capsule.

None that I know of.

I was put on this for carpal tunnal syndrome-started at 1 300mg 3x's a day--I took it one day, woke up at 5AM screaming bloody murder from the pain it caused from my fingertips to my neck and into my head. I have never had a medication reation that caused so much pain. I drank lots of water and took 2 50 mg Tramadol, 2 500mg Tylenol
and had to stay in bed for 3 days to get over it.

I am not on it at the moment but use to be and it worked wonders for quite some years. I ended up on quite some high levels though, then after 15 years or so it just wasn't working anymore.

Works great for quite some time.

Makes you very hungry

I just started taking it, so hopefully it will help me in the long run. so far, though, so good.

I am taking 2 600mg tablets one tablet two times a day. I have had no problems with it, and it works wonderfully for me. My lower leg pain has all but disappeared and the tingling and rapid leg movement while I am asleep has completely disappeared.

Works great with no apparent side effects.

None.

I take this medication and it really works for me with some side effects but my body has gotten used to them. Mostly dizziness and out of balance. I take 600mg 2 of them 3x a day.

I take this for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, but it also works for diabetic neuropothy.

Am up to 600mg 4xday for relief. Less expensive than Lyrica.

Weight gain.

i use to take it and was on 3600mg...it worked for quite a few years for me like that but now a days there's a lot of warning in regards to that drug...i now take Lyrica 200mg 3x a day and i feel like its my wonder drug...seldomly do i have issues still..ive been on it prolly about 2 years now

for me the burning, numbing, weakness, yanno the drill reduces drastically

um...the color of the pill is bland lol

CAUTION!!! If you have kidney damage or your kidneys don't function at 100%, this drug may build up in your system and affect behavior, because it is metabolized through your kidneys. I took it for a condition other than diabetic neuropathy; my kidneys were then functioning at about 30%. The dosage began at 900mg per day and eventually increased over the next 4 weeks to 1500mg daily. My behavior became manic with panic attacks and non-stop talking. My psychiatrist (not the prescribing doctor) told me to stop it immediately! Gabapentin had built to toxic levels in my blood.

None for me.

May cause severe behavioral problems! In the drug info I received, there was no mention of caution if kidney damage exists.
