Or it's just another minor player in the tool kit. It does seem to help but I can't say how much yet due to all the variables. But I admit to some disappointment at the events of last night. More to come.

I believe you will need to taper off completely, the gabapentin.
Then you will discover more clearly the effects of the CBD oil.
There can be a withdrawal period with gabapentin tapers, which may result in increased pain perception.
