I hope that one day, I could just take the supplements and not the gabapentin. That would be THE day!!!
Did you have the breathing issue before the gabapentin?

As I understand it, Lyrica is worse in the breathing department.
But gabapentin is also listed as having this side effect in some people.

But do discuss this with your doctor.
