I’d be interested in hearing my fellow burners experiences with both these drugs. I’d been on Gabapentin for 6 months but just couldn’t take the side effects any more: compromised cognition, equilibrium off, short term memory problems, and still on fire! My doc has started me at the lowest dose. I’m hopeful, but at this point not confidant.
