diabetic peripheral neuropathy
"I was originally prescribed this medicine because of numbness I had in my feet.  I was an alcoholic for about 10 years and had some nerve damage done to my feet.  As part of quitting I sought help for the side effects of new sobriety.  This medicine makes the pain from numbness go away almost completely. I can finally wear any type of shoes that I want. I also have an issue with anxiety as my body chemistry had been impacted highly from addiction.  This medicine helps me keep a calm and cool head.  I take other things such as Atarax and Trazodone but I notice a big difference if I don't take my Gabapentin.  It makes my anxiety stay at a certain level and not escalate into anger and compulsiveness."
