Gabapentin in pregnancy?

general discussion

I live in the EU, and the general consensus over here is that you shouldn’t be on gabapentin in pregnancy. Or the doctor should weigh up the benefits for the mother to be. I have been taking 600mg per day for nerve pain to do with my trigeminal nerve/sinus area which causes migraines.

My neuro now wants me to come off gabapentin and try something else. I’m just worried it won’t work as well as gabapentin.

Has anyone here been on it in pregnancy?
