So now I'm back down to 2 mg, which of course is nowhere near a therapeutic dose. I have no idea if this med might work for the nerve pain. My question is: Did you have stomach problems when you started off on the gabitril, and if so, how long did it take for them to go away (if they ever did)? On the plus side, I've lost five pounds since I started the gabitril, as I have zero appetite. <sigh> Hugs, a --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
