Are any DUers taking gabapentin? [View all]

I have a range of issues like Type 2 diabetes, obesity, high BP, all of which have improved over the past couple years, primarily due to Ozempic.

I have neuropathy in my feet. My doctor prescribed gabapentin for me well over a year ago and I haven't touched it yet. I worry about side effects. This does not affect my ability to walk but it's not going away either.

So I'm considering starting the gabapentin and hopefully some DUers have experience with it. My doctor say go ahead and take it. My dog Chase took it for years for pain control and was fine, it helped extend his life I'm sure.

I am not usually phobic about meds by the way. It's just this one I am really on the fence about.

thank you in advance for your input!

ETA: Thank you for everyone and your responses and sharing your experience with this drug. I love DU and the people here!

Happy New Year y'all, #BeTheOpposition

it's gonna be a ride.
