Yes THC is now legal in Texas. Itis more natural than any prescription given by any doctor. It helps my pain and helps me sleep. I have slept 6 plus hours!!!!

Thank you all for your feedback! I was given gabapentin to help me with severe sciatic nerve pain. I am trying to avoid back surgery. Gabapentin has not helped with the pain. Anyone have any suggestions for another medication that is safe to take for sciatic nerve pain?

I am not sure if gabapentin helps with pain but I know that I was prescribed it for nerve pain after foot surgery. after taking only one tablet I started experiencing extreme dyskinesia so I never took anymore . I started having dyskinesia and lost strengthen my knees and was unable to stand for more than 30 seconds to a minute at a time. I was sent to physical therapy after that after physical therapy and lowering my dose of leva dope carbidopa I was able to experience some relief from the dyskinesia I hope this helps I'm not sure if it will but just my experience
