I am fairly new to Neuro Talk but there are some awesome people in here. I suffer from CRPS and I have tried many meds - Gabbapentin being one of them. In the end I was fed up with the weight gain and I could no longer cope with the feeling of nauseousness and bloatedness. The withdrawals arent pleasant, I came off the Gabbapentin very slowly, reducing the amount as advised but I still felt quite ugh - hot/cold sweats, nauseous, dizzy, headaches just generally feeling ugh. There might be other meds you can try out there. I am now on Oxycontin which I know is highly addictive but I cant cope with the pain without it, especially since it has spread throughout my body.

The best pain specialist I saw was someone who specialised in anaesthestics (cant think of posh name lol).

Good luck with it all. I did lots of research re Gabbapentin and made the decision to come off the Gabbapentin myself, went and saw my pain spec who supported me fully and helped me wean off the drug.

Take care
