"i have suffered from pain in both legs, related to arthritis in knees, ankles and toes. my doctor prescribed gabapentin 300mg (one capsule daily for one week; then twice daily  and thereafter). i got immediate relief of the pain and discomfort.  i felt some minor dizziness and sleepiness, but these effects were not lasting. i am keen to know if gabapentin will be permanently added to the list of medications."
