Hi,
My brother in law has been on gapapentin for a few months now and it has done wonders for him. He has MS and has been taking it for nystagmus. I think he would recommend it to anyone with the same problem.
Hope you get the same results.This is a reply to this message.

Hi,
I suffer from a condition called Scoliosis(2 curves in the spine). I was in a lot of pain so they put me on Gabapentin. It did take a few weeks to get used to and it does make you drowsy sometimes but it has done wonders for me and has got my pain down to a manageable level

I have been on gabapentin for about 5/6 years and it makes a huge difference to me. I have neuropathic pain in my right thigh and it makes the difference from me screaming in pain to be able to get up and out in my wheelchair
