I'm getting off gabapentin

I have been taking low doses of Gabapentin for about a year. 100 mg. Morning and 200 mg. Evening. I have nerve pain from Nerourotpathy in my feet and lower legs. I was getting very dizzy at first and thought I would have to stop. The dizziness went away after about four days and has not returned. I would say the Gabapentin is about 80% effective in relieving my pain. I used to put my feet up on the ottoman in the evening and feel like someone was shooting my feet with a finishing nail gun. I still have some shooting pains mostly in my toes but it is manageable. I have not experienced any other side effects that I can identify . I am happy with the drug so far.

I want off so bad but the withdrawals are bad even if I come down on the dosage you never ever want to run out of your meds This medication is wicked Don’t ever start taking it Also it makes me forgetful

Canada must have placebo gabapentin.ive never gotten anything from them. I've been taking them twice a day for two plus years.

Too bad. Gabapentin has been a blessing for me for 4 years. I must be the only person on YouTube who is benefiting from it.

I have used GABAPENTIN as needed for 4 years down to 100mg at night once or twice a week.

I’ve been on GABApentin for 8+ years, 300 mg x 3 and 600 mg at bedtime. No major side effects. I have neuropathy in hands and feet and nerve pain bi-lateral shoulders and arms. 100% permanent and disabled from agent Orange/ Vietnam. I tried PreGablin 100 mg x2 but really felt lethargic, dizzy, and general malaise. Went back on GABApentin.

I tried to stop only. 300 mg, in 5 hrs my fibromyalgia pain was so severe I was crying at 3:am. I took a capsule n in 1 hr. I was pain free again. The severe pain was not worth stopping 1 cap a day. You must out weigh the benefits or the adverse reactions for yourself. I am a believer!!!!

Well what is the other option that he is using ? What is the point of this video if there is no explanation regarding what he is doing for the nerve pain ?

Have been taking Gabapentin for 7 years now on 1800mg a day. It’s for Fibromyalgia and neuropathy but doesnt work. I started reducing a week ago , 8/9/21 here in the UK . Now under pain management clinic.

What is the help that you got I am on the same dose and plan on tapering off I would really like to know I have heard it can get really bad I don't want to get sick from trying to come off medications

I'm in Maine where can I go for your treatment??

I have head pain from the upper area of back of my head and the doctor write me.. gapapentin .. So is it treatment ? Or its just pain killer ? Plz anwer This is the frist time ever I have this kind of pain So can this med heal it or its just pain relief??

What is this man doing or taking for pain in place of gabapentin?

Man im taking it now for insomnia but i dont sleep much with it at all and it kinda makes my chest hurt its a weird pain like right after it kicks in should i continue taking it even through the day my chest kinda feels tight its weird man

The withdrawals are so bad! Can’t regulate temperature you get so hot your clothes and hair is so wet from sweating The anxiety is so high you want to do nothing but cry. I wake up from trimming all over and my skin feels like it’s on fire and I feel like I been popped with a rubber band my skin feel like sand paper been rubbing it and the depression is bad

Not sure how much it works for me as on lot's of other meds as in gabapentin,pre-gablin, codein,baclofen,oxycodone and other meds to.as for gabapentin I'm on 900ml a day.

The Dr kept interrupting the man. Why ask a question if your not going to let him answer?!?!

So what does he do with the pain? He said he doesn't have any pain. Where did it go? Getting off pain meds cannot make chronic pain mysteriously dissappear. What a crock.

I had Shingles in 2018 and Dr recommended this medicine and it’s helped me. He prescribed it for two years and it was a blessing. Highly recommend. No side affects maybe just drowsiness.

how can yo uall help
