[|AI|]  Hi, Your symptoms are consistent with peripheral neuropathy. Hope you have undergone nerve conduction study for confirming the diagnosis and extent of lesionGabapentin specifically a GAZA analog. It was originally developed to treat epilepsy, and currently is also used to relieve neuropathic pain in neuropathy. It is not used for Parkinson disease. Gabapentins most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, Chat Doctor.  Gabapentin should be used carefully in patients with renal impairment due to possible accumulation and toxicity. Medicines are not poison they are used to alleviate the symptoms hence don't worry be in touch with your treating doctor for any hypersensitivity or skin reaction and watch for urine output. Hope this will help regards
