"i&#039;ve had 5 surgeries on lower back which causes nerve damage and pain and been this way since my first surgery in 1992 or 93 lose count, my dr. suggested gabapentin 300 mg 3 times a day, now i&#039;m not steady on my feet, when walking i have to hold on to things because fear of falling. can&#039;t function at the work place. i have to be alert at all times, i have a lot of drowsiness and dizziness and this medicine puts me to sleep at all hours, but on a high note i&#039;m drinking a lot of water which is a good thing due to cotton mouth. i don&#039;t think this is for me."
