For those of you who are concerned about hot flashes and other symptoms, NIH.gov does list the following side effects to be associated with gabapentin:

feeling of warmth or heat
flushing or redness of the skin
unusual tiredness or weakness
restlessness
trouble sleeping
weight gain
bloated or full feeling

Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0045606/#DDIC600709.side_effects_section

Interestingly enough, I was able to find pretty much every side effect that was mentioned in this thread on that one page.

I truly hope you all are overcoming these symptoms and that each passing day gets better. Please keep us posted if anything changes! Best wishes!

I've been on it for about a year now and I have gotten hit flashes but been thinking it's early menopause. I'm 43. I NEVER put two and two together. I've also been allergic to dogs for instance. I had dogs alllll my life. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
Another thing. I've always had sleep problems. Had a sleep study and I have restless leg syndrome. I used t o be lucky if I got 4 hours in one piece or 5 hours in a 12 hour period. Now I can and do fall asleep at all times. Especially after dinner. I'm ALWAYS tired and none motivated. Anybody else have these symptoms?
