pain
"I had suffered with chronic sciatica on my right leg for four months before finding the great doctor who prescribed gabapentin to me.  I've spent 3 weeks working up from 1 to 3 pills a day. Each pill is 300mg.  My pain has dropped from unbearable to nothing! An MRI shows a Trevor cyst about 3/4" in diameter which is on my 5th lumbar putting pressure at the top of the sciatic nerve.  I thought I'd be facing cortisone shots and eventual surgery to deal with the tricky cyst but maybe thanks to this medicine I'll be able to dodge that path of treatment.  I am sleeping more soundly, I have less energy in the evening and my overall energy level seems reduced but given the trade off of being pain- free, it's worth it."
