I'm weaning off Gabapentin now and I can't wait to be done with it. The only thing I'm sure of is it makes me sleepy. My dose was 600mg in the evening so I took it around 7pm. If I wanted to go out by 9pm I looked & acted like a drunk. My words would slur and I couldn't walk straight. I'm just down to 400mg and can't wait to get off.
I know for some it works and I can't imagine that it will be banned. Unfortunately it's overprescribed for just about everything. Thats how they got in this mess.

Wow. thanks for this. I rarely use it, but perhaps i should think about acquiring more refills and stock piling them... Annoying.

I took This drug for years in various doses up to maximum, no big side effects and actually do not think it worked that well. I have not found anything that helps with the pain, some relief in my mind with pain meds! Had since 1988!

I mentioned above how a friend is getting reduced pain from decades and she took gabapentin for years too with all the side effects...she's getting some good relief with grape seed extract now taking it over 5 yrs or so...
Too too bad the allopathic world won't/can't work with the holistic healing world of supplements etc. My only MD is an integrative MD and she offers the drugs LAST and my nerve issues all came on after hip replacement and nerve damage from it. Plus I so depend on the great information on the net and the forums I've been on for years. |
