Ive been on this medication for approx 8-12 months at first it did have a bad effect on me, but once my body began to get used to the drug it was fine. I decided because I was given 2 types of drug for my back pain, instead of taking 100mg tramadol and 600mg gabapentin, I decided to to 300mg/50mg to lessen the effects which seemed to suit me a lot better; so after discussing with my doctor if it was okay that was what I did. It does make you feel drowsy and sometimes you feel sick but those side effects aren't always present every time I take it

Does it make you feel sick for long periods of time or are they just brief periods of nausea?

It was difficult for me to stand for more than 5 min. The pain at the waistline of my back would become unbearable if I stood for longer. The Gabapentin did not eliminate the pain but made it bearable and en enabled me to accomplish things around the house I hadn't been able to for quite some time.
