If so, did you have any side effects? Memory fuzzy? Sleep later in the morning? Anything? TIA

I don't recall any side effects as it has been quite some time ago, but I do remember that it had no effect whatsoever on my pain.

I have taken Gabapentin for many years. Even early on I did not have any side effects.

@Tinkrbl44 I have restless legs which at times can be really bad - this was prescribed to me to try to help and to a point it did help but I became so dizzy the longer I took it so no longer do. I have read that many people do have good luck with taking it. Good luck.

All of the above.

I took it once for back pain and it did not help at all.
I don't remember any side effects but it was like taking nothing.

It's been so long since I took it but I don't recall having any side effects. I believe it did not work well for me.

Here's my story: I had a ruptured disc and sciatica from the inners of the disc irritating the sciatic nerve. The pain was excruciating and nothing helped, not even Vicodin ( I went 3 weeks with almost no sleep), because nerve pain is different.
They finally put me on GABA ( because it is essentially for nerve pain) , and once I reached the treatment dose, the pain was so much better. I took it for at least a month, while working an intense job. I had no real side effects that were a problem. I was so thankful for gaba-
I hope you feel better!

@colleena Are you taking anything for restless leg syndrome now? Gabapentin isn't usually prescribed for that. I take Requip. It was like a miracle when I started taking it. I had RLS for many years. I had to get up in the middle of the night every night to walk around because I was so uncomfortable.
I finally figured out what it was and told my doctor about it. She prescribed Requip, and now I don't have RLS.
