I don't have a doctor currently due to financial reasons. Well, I ran out of Gaba last night. I don't want to be on this medication anymore anyways. I feel like it made me a zombie, like I can't feel my feelings or something. I can not even react to things like surprises, other people's feelings, etc properly.
I guess what I want to know is, am I going to be OK detoxing off of this stuff? I mean, will I die? lol I'm prepared for the side effects . . . I'll do it because I hate the stuff.
I do have Flexeril and Vicodin if I need them for withdrawal. Very low doses as I'm sensitive to medications. I also take Welbutrin every day so I thought maybe that will help with some of the withdrawal.
Thanks for the support.

I take Neurontin too and at one point had been on 2700 mg/day. After I got my stimulator I abruptly decreased the dose to 900 at night only and didn't suffer any ill effects.Sometimes I don't even take it. That's the beauty of that med. If you're unsure you can call a pharmacist.
Take care,
Rhonda
