It[ like when I do something my muschles hurt and it makes me feel so wiped out. so I take gabapentin alll dayh long for energy and pain. and i think it helps my arthritis pain too; I couldn't go without. what do you think. Is a lot of gabapentin hard on my liver.

Hi and welcome to HCM.Thank you for your query.
Gabapentin has negative effect on liver but the degree of it depends from man to man.You should do frequent check up of liver enymes and liver ultrasounds. Depending on these results you can accomodate gabapentin dosage. There ar also some other antiinflammtroy medicines which has less effect on liver function.
Wish you good health. Regards
