"i have degenerative disc disease and recently blew a disc in my neck which was excruciating.  i&#039;ve dealt with lower back disc related issues for 30 years, but this pain in my neck left shoulder and arm was beyond anything i could cope with. i wasn&#039;t sleeping and functioning was near impossible.  the doctors tried me on lyrica which was bad for me, then cymbalta which made me lose a lot of hair and extreme muscle cramps (not to mention the really bad withdrawals), but just a week into taking 200mg of gabapentin before bed i am virtually pain free!  i&#039;ve gained a little weight, but that&#039;s about it.  my fingers and hands are still tingling but the pain associated is almost gone and most definitely tolerable.

i love this stuff so far."
