big hug for everyone today x im off to physio , first time not looking forward to it but i will go , tried gabapentin and had awful side effects had very shallow breathing , shaking , and didnt walk very straight , unfortunatly me and tablets (strong ones like these ) dont agree with me , ive called docs and will be back on tramadol , and stay on nortriptyline of a night , ive got them on the ready for when i come home , love to everyone tc all xxx
So sorry the gabapentin did not work for you, perhaps Lyrica would be better, it is similar. I could not take the gabapentin either, I felt like I was in a spinning top, the Lyrica works well though, works well enough that it usually takes care of the Sciatica.
Hope you can get some relief, call the Dr, let them know that you could not take this drug!
Hugs,
SK
