Who Takes Gabapentin? Tell Me About It And Your Experience

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mesa border of Gilbert az

I wwas trying to not take something that would not cause any fatigue. I don't have much pain at all.
Anyway I've been taking mertazapine for sleep... I think it's causing bad morning fatigue. It's either that or just gilenya and ms fatigue and heat.
The mertazapine is a Low dose and she wants me to alternate mertazapine with gabapentin before bed. I have no experience with taking gabapentin.

Hi @A MyMSTeam Member ... you can take a lot more gabapentin when you're in pain....check with your Dr tomorrow ....I take 700, x 3 times a day....

You know when you take the Gabapentin.....when do you take it? You're not supposed to leave more than 8 hrs inbetween a dose. Check Chris😊 xxx

Gabapentin never really did much for me even on high doses. I discontinued it because of the fluid retention and constipation I believe it was causing.
