Hi there,

Has anyone here tried gabapentin for twitching? Has it helped? I am hesitant to try it until I get my anxiety under control to see if that will just calm my nervous system down. My twitching has improved a little bit. I still twitch often in my calves and feet, but it is less frequent and less intense. Still super annoying. I also am getting muscle cramping in my feet :( I just want it to go away!

I take it (300mg 2-3x a day) for nerve pain in my feet from chemo. (I was on 900mg 3x a day during treatment) It definitely helps. The only side effects were a little dizziness and sleepiness but it wore off in a couple of weeks.

Positive thoughts
