Hey :) I’m on Gabapentin and have been for yearsss, about 10. It’s specifically for neuropathic pain. I’ve always found to really helpful. I wouldn’t even say I notice a difference anymore because I’ve been on it for so long but when I don’t have it, I know about it. My doses have varied over the years depending on how bad / how improved my symptoms have been. Take 1800mg currently but that is being increased to a dose I’ve tolerated previously so happy with the decision. Doesn’t make me anymore tired than I already am. I’d rate it more than Amitriptyline personally but everyone is different. Hope you find what works best for you :)
