Teresa That was my recent thinking. I also take gabapentin to 1800mg daily I am not sure its resolving anything but I ask how bad would I feel without it? I just want to get back to feeling okay to drive. Most of my pains are in left leg but I can get spasms in my right leg. Wishing all of us the best in dealing with side effects✨😢

I took tizanidine as well & it made it tolerable but didn't resolve the problem total !! I guess we just learn to live with a certain amount of pain !! Wishing you all the best
