The newest and most successful has been gabapentin, which seems to relieve a wide range of nerve pain, including that often accompanying cancer and AIDS. Better yet, this class of drugs has a low level of side effects. Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea and unsteadiness, if they do occur, can usually be alleviated by adjusting the dosages of the drug, while more severe side effects, such as liver toxicity, blood disorders and disturbed...
