Now at 3600mg a day on gabapentin and it really slows down your brain. It really helps with the pain but it feels like you are a rock or mud moving in a mud slide. I had to start wearing a watch to keep up with the time. I guess all medication has an upside and down side. I feel like I'm an hour or more behind what is going on right in front of me. But hey it really helps with the pain.

My wife has some nerve impingement around her lower back and hip that she is prescribed Gabapentin for, and she only takes it when things "get bad" because of those exact side effects. She can't take feeling mentally flooby.

I find myself needing the snooze button 3+ times after decades of big dawging. I was never a morning person but holy fuck. Anyone else?

I've evolved in the opposite direction. At first I always needed an alarm, then I usually needed an alarm, now in my 50's I just pop awake around 7 every morning and it's on. Then again I also used melatonin for a while to nail my circadian rhythm into an absolute lock step.
