| Add Gabapentin review I suffer from neuropathy making unable to stand or walk. This medicine allows me a comfortable lifestyle. I am taking this medication for nerve damage. It does its job, but it makes me very sleepy. I would rather deal with the pain than be sleepy all of the time. The reason for taking this drug was for a feeling, I wanted to jump out of my skin, I could not sleep or get comfortable in any form I have several medical conditions which cause Neuropathic pain along with other chronic pain issues, therefore this medication with other pain medication does cause a drowsy effect. However the relief from the burning, stabbing, shooting pain outweighs the side effect most of the time. | Add Pregabalin review Increased sexual feelings. Very sensitive clitoris, needed relief all the time It works but makes me very dizzy so that I can't do anything else. Although this medication is very effective in stopping the pain, the followings symptoms are rather troublesome. Fluid Retention in legs. Visible water retention. Weight gain Sinus irritation & Congestion Trouble breathing. | |||
