Hello I feel very out of it today, I'm shaking, feel sick and can't concentrate , my doctor is taking me off gabapentin because I'm feeling low and it's not helping my insomnia, they have given me co codamol while I reduce the gabapentin every 5 days (from 3 to 2 every 5 days and then to 1 every other day for 5 days) and then I'm going on 10mg of amitriptyline at night and just co codamol in the day, do any of you know why I'm feeling like crap

Hello Inona I feel so sorry for you, taking you straight off a strong tablet like is bound to make you feel so dreadful, hopefully within a few days your body will resettle and you will feel a lot better, try to sleep the effects off, take care, try to relax, not easy, big hugs love Pammie x x 🐞🐞🐞
