pain
"I had surgery about 4 years ago on my ankle, and have had nerve damage since then.  I was diagnosed with Complex regional Pain Syndrome recently and put on gabapentin for it, my nerve pain is gone, and as a side effect my sleep has returned to normal.  I have found that if I don't take it with some sort of food, that it makes me pretty non-functional.  All in all I would say this has done wonders for my pain, and I use tramadol for the break through pain.  I have lived with pain for years, and this made me pain free in about 4 days time.  Wonderful drug.  I was on 300mg/day for the first 3 days, taken at bed time, then went to 600mg/day taken at bed time.  No negative side effects, just ones that are actually positive."
