I’ve been on gabapentin for 12 years. Varying doses. Currently 800 at night. It does make you tired and groggy. It will add weight. There as it numbs the nerve endings that are exposed cooling some of that pain there really isn’t another quite the same.
some Fibromyalgia drugs can do some but not a perfect fit as they deal with other disease. Activity helps both in countering the side effects and not needing as much.
