"i had ongoing pain in my right leg due to stenosis, a cyst on my spine, and a number of issues with my lower vertebrae. i first went to a chiropractor but that didn&#039;t help. had two injections at a pain clinic with very limited results. went to a spine clinic and the doctor prescribed gabapentin. went from one 300mg a day to three as prescribed. i have found much relief and have had some good nights of sleep after months  of pain at night. i have not had the side effects described here except it took a couple of times to discover that my tolerance for alcohol is greatly reduced. that may not be a bad thing. i still have a lot of numbness and pain if i walk too far or stand too long but at least i can sleep at night ."
