Frequently asked questions FOR Scanonerve-NT
Gabapentin
Q. I have been prescribed Gabapentin for pain. When will I start feeling better?
It varies from person to person. Some people take about a week or two before noticing relief in pain. Whereas, some people may see an improvement straight away. It is recommended that you take Gabapentin only for nerve pain and as advised by your doctor.
Q. I think I have gained weight since I started taking Gabapentin. Can this be because of Gabapentin?
Yes, Gabapentin may cause weight gain because it increases your hunger. Regular physical exercise and a balanced diet with low calorie food may help you maintain a stable weight. Consult a dietitian if you have any further concerns to keep your weight stable.
Q. For how long do I need to take Gabapentin?
Your doctor will decide the duration of the treatment based on your condition and your response to the treatment. For instance, if you have been prescribed Gabapentin for epilepsy, you may have to take it for a long time, maybe years even if your seizures are controlled. Whereas, if you are taking it for nerve pain and it has relieved your pain, you may have to take it for several months only.

The pain may be spontaneous which means it may be triggered without the presence of any stimulating factor. Additionally, you may experience an increase in the sensitivity to touch. Consult your doctor if you experience such pain.
