Has anyone else had a trigger finger type effect from gabapentin? I googled "why does my finger stick" and it was mentioned in there. Anyone else?

I take 300 mg twice a day. I just decreased from 300 mg three times a day.

I take gabapentin three times a day, 600 mg but I have never had that happen to me. I do have memory problems and concertation trouble.

I have trigger finger. I take 2400-3200mg gabapentin a day. Did not know it was a side effect. I've gained at least 30 lbs. in the past year. It works better than any drug. I have had two gamma knife surgeries. Still have pain. I can't remember a thing. Trying to stay positive.

Well, the decrease from 900 mg to 600 mg gabapentin didn't work. Haven't had any more trigger finger issues. Back to 900 mg plus just added 100 mg this a.m. after a horrendous jolt. :-(
