So I got up and walked around for a bit...no panic/anxiety attacks, no pain, no symptoms at all. I actually felt normal. But for some reason it had an opposite effect on me as far as making me drowsy, it actually woke me up. So I decided to take a Cyclobenzaprine [Flexeril] to put me to bed. I laid down again and I was RESTLESS and I was having trouble breathing. I was up till about 4am last night... Could I be allergic to Gabapentin? Could it be because I mixed the 2 drugs? I wasn't having trouble breathing when it first kicked it, before I took the Cyclo... I've never had trouble breathing or sleeping after taking Cyclobenzaprine so I know I'm not allergic to that... Should I try taking a Gabapentin by itself during the day today and see how it makes me feel, and take the muscle relaxer before bed? Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

I called the last doctor I seen and left a message so I can ask what she thinks about it, but haven't got a call back yet.
Iv had a similar thing, I was on gabapentin for 6 yrs and I read on several links that it can cause respitory suppression. its like I forget to just keep breathing and ill have pauses in my breathing. I read gabapentin over long-term use especially, can cause breathing problems, it can make you forget to keep breathing.
