Would like to hear other opinions on the results of taking Gabapentin for nerve damage?

Hi there, I have ulner nerve damage in my right elbow and severe osteoarthritis in my right elbow, I've was on on 3600 of gaba and 400 mg of morphine er before I had another arthroscopy, I'm now down to 160 morphine and 2100 of gaba but now I'm badly struggling with fatigue, today I've been in bed all day and I've been like this for months, up and down, if a get a reasonable day I seem to pay for it for the next few days, does this ring any bells with anyone ?

In my other reply I was confused .. anyway Neurontin is bad for your teeth so take extra special care of them ...

I take 1800 MG a day. It makes me dizzy and the memory loss is a bad side effect. I am hoping that CBD can help me lower the dose. My DR seems to think it could to the point of removing gaba from the picture. Fingers crossed, should find out in the next month or so. Will report back.
