I hope she gave you taper instructions for the Cymbalta, as stopping abruptly can cause significant withdrawal syndrome.

We'll no withdrawl symptoms from stopping the cymbalta, I didn't expect any to be honest, I never seem to have that problem stopping medications. Just the gabapentin to get off now, down too only 600mg a day now so should be off it by next week. As you can imagine the pain is not great 😩

Gabapentin is not metabolized in the body (only a tiny bit is suggested sometimes), so it should not affect the liver at all, or the metabolism of other drugs. It is excreted by the kidneys whole, and poor kidney functions are what to look for with safe use of this drug. People with low kidney clearance cannot take high doses of gabapentin, therefore.

I know as I have PKD so my max dose I am allowed of GABA is 1800mg a day, my gp is just being cautious as my liver count is still going up despite dropping the other drugs. Maybe it just wanted to join the party 😳
