"i have very little memory of my time taking gabapentin - which is part of the problem with the drug.  for some people it&#039;s ok, but for me my memory from that time is like a black hole.  i remember starting it, a few flashes while taking it, but i don&#039;t remember tapering off the drug.  it&#039;s like i lost 6 months of my life.  i couldn&#039;t even tell you if it helped with the pain."
