Gabapentin for chronic tension headache/pressure? Long story short: I have had a constant sensation of "head pressure" for 10+ years, and in recent years, adding "neck/back pressure" and other aches and pains to the list.

I was prescribed gabapentin for nerve entrapment in my elbows, which was causing numbness and tingling in my hands and lower arms. Didn’t help much and I certainly didn’t notice any sedating effects at all. My allowable dose was up to 300 mg 3x a day, though, so not the max amount. My doctor just prescribed me Gabapentin 300 mg 3x a day for neck pain. I’ve only been taking it once a day and I’ve slept somewhat better but otherwise been in more (maybe due to something else) or similar amounts of pain. I’m always hesitant to take drugs.
