Gabapentin I couldn't tolerate. I was on Lyrica at carying doses for almoat teo years when I noticed it was losing wffectiveness at a dose that had worked for close to half a year (off the top of my head, I'll verify via journal later).

I was told there are no diminishing returns which means- 1- that is not true or 2. getting worse. When I missed two doses and noticed my cognitive gain I was convinced to get off it.

I have rough patches, but for me it is not worth the trade off. I think everyone needs to decide for themselves.
