Gabapentin caused me to feel wonderful at first! Then my libido hit the roof and beyond. I would get bloated in the belly and urinate more frequent. I never slept. My hair thinned.I developed a bladder infection and hyponatremia and went off of the drug. At first it helped my pain, my social phobia, anxiety, better memory, i was no longer depressed and saw life through rose colored glasses. I was loosing weight on it. How I miss it.

I have been on this drug for only a month and already gained 20lbs. I am bloated and feel sluggish. I have terrible lower back pain, and headaches. This is suppose to be helping me with cronic neck pain, I would rather put up with the original pain than this.

I have been taking gabapentin for a couple of years now for neuropathy and I have the most stupid dreams that just don't make sense, and some feel like it really happened. Does anybody else have weird dreams while on this medicine? I feel like I'm the only one.
