Yes, that was the reference. It was very anecdotal and not authoritative in the least, but it did start me thinking about the Gabapentin again. So many things don't add up about that drug. Doctors hand it out like candy, it is considered very safe, then it shows up on an admittedly dubious list from AARP as causing cognitive losses. That it only helps about 30% of the time is usually left out of the information. I think it does help me, but it has been five years now and I am curious about tapering it.
I initially lost weight on it but have recently gained about 15 pounds and it is very stubborn. Can the Gabapentin be responsible for that after so long or is that wishful thinking?
I did not mean to put you through so much trouble! I was hoping for "off the top of the head" information and experience, I would not dream of asking you to research this. Thank you.
