I am on Gabapentin too but that isn't causing the sweating. I had the sweating many years before I got on the medication I laugh because I ask my doctor every 6-8 months to check my thyroid and I am always fine . I am looking for reasons as to why I am always hot and sweaty. I totally finished meopause like 7 or 8 years ago. FRUSTRATED as hell.
