    While you are on it or off of it? That doesn't sound good T all. Have you talked to your doctoer or pharmacist about what you're experiencing? If you're still on it, there might be something without bad side effects you can take instead...

    Also, have you started any other meds during this time before you had these sypmtoms.  And do you take other meds along with it?  It could very well be an interaction to another med.

    I have the same. Especially when walking at a normal pace....a little better when I walk briskly...but no guarantees there either...embarrassing.  And I am only on 1200 mg of gabapentin....expecting the dosage to be increased because I am still getting facial pain

      Hi Karen,

      Take it easy on this med.  Seems to me my gut feeling tells me, something's very off for you.  Talk to your doctor for darn sure on this one!!  Good luck to you smile
