Finished my new home and moved in Jan. 16th my birthday.
I am doing well. I stopped taking Gabapentin and i am doing better. I had several side effects when taking it. Balance, freezing ( i would take a nap and not be able to move at all). My wife would have to move my arms and legs to get me going. I would fall asleep without warning. Fatigue was also bad. Sex was a chore.
I stopped about 2 weeks ago and i feel 100% better.

Found out my son stocked the pond (20 feet from my back garage door) with channel catfish 5 years ago. It is full of channel cat fish from 4 ounces to 5 pounds. And blue cat fish from 2 to 5 pounds. The blues washed down from the north neighbors pond. I fish every day. I catch maybe 20 a day and release them back.
Glad you got the house done! That was quite the accomplishment, especially considering your health condition! Congratulations are in order!! I have freezing episodes, too, so I know how devastating they can feel, and be! Enjoy the results of all your hard work!
Bailey. If I remember correctly you were taking Gabapentin for aches in feet and hands. Why did you stop and how are you managing to cope with these pains if it was Gabapentin that was giving you some relief? Good to hear you’re still around though mate😊
The Gabapentin worked just fine. I was getting depress every day for no reason, I would get paranoid and worry about things for no reason. Gabapentin can cause this and i think it was doping it to me. When i was off of it for 2 days the depression , worring and paranoiia went away and has not returned
My feet and hands do not hurt as long as the carbidopa levodopa is working. When the carbidopa levodopa wears off my feet burn and ache.
