hot flashes
"I have been taking gabapentin 600mg, 3 times a day for the past 2 years for hot flashes.  I started taking gabapentin ER for a research study on hot flashes.  It was a miracle drug for me.  The hot flashes almost stopped completely after just 1 week of taking this medicine.  The study lasted for 6 months, and then I was taken off cold turkey.  The withdrawl was horrible.  Hot flashes, couldn't sleep, and just over all irritable to say the least.  I went to my regular doctor and was prescribed gabapentin 600mg.  Again the hot flashes subsided. It is the only medication that I take.  The best part of taking this medication is that my energy level has sky rocketed. At 49 years old, I feel 30."
