BTW - What is gabepenton ?

Allison ~

Gabapentin is drug that is also known by the brand name Neurontin. It is prescribed for a variety of purposes, primarily to help neuropathic pain.  I only know about it because my wife uses it to help control the effects of her Fibromyalgia.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Allison,  Thanks for the link. This helps to explain my unexplainable fatigue. Good nts sleep 2 nts ago then hit a real sinker about noon. Thought I would lie down for a 15 min power nap and awoke 2 hrs later feeling better, but guilty for wasting a good part of the day.

Jim,  Is Gabepton prescribed for fatigue? Also does it have any effect on the loud ringing in the ear?
Thanks,
Skip

You're welcome Skip.  ;)
I did a little Internet research on gabapentin and noted that it was for pain (like fibromyalgia), and it is not helpful for tinnitis sufferers. Too bad someone hasn't developed a pill that would help the facial nerve regenerate!   :-\
