peripheral neuropathy
"Last year I went off gabapentin as I wanted to get a pilots license.  The FAA was so nasty because I have diabetes that I guess I will never get the medical clearance.  Lately the neuropathy got so severe I couldn't stand it so gradually worked my way back up to 9-100 mg a day.  What a difference.  I may need more later.  I did notice a few pounds packed on, and a bit of a blur in my eye with the new lens implant.  Now that I know it is the gabapentin putting the weight on, I can be more careful as I want to maintain my figure.  Lyrica made me nuts and I had terrible mood swings.  Once I got up to 700 mg of gabapentin, I noticed a big relief."
