peripheral neuropathy
"Have bad periheral neuropathy in feet  - with periods of intense burning pain and last few months pain/numbness was getting much worse, especially at night.  Wasn't excited about using gabapentin because of all the possible side effects listed.  Finally went to Doctor who prescribed 300 mg at bedtime, but instructed could do 600 mg if necessary.  Took for first time last night, 300 mg didn't seem to make much of a difference in pain so after about an hour, took another 300 mg.  I was very surprised this morning at how much the burning pain had subsided!  Am feeling a little sluggish/mellow today, hopefully that won't be a lasting side effect after my body gets used to the drug."
