my story

I have been on gabapenting now for 2 years and it takes the edge off the pain but I feel like a zombe most of the time

Hi Amanda, I take Gabapentin along with Tramadol and Paracetamol for pain. I've just started on Morphine patches, so have been able to reduce the Tramadol by half. Now we're looking to increase the Morphine and get rid of the Tramadol all together. Then see if I can cut out the Gabapentin. Balancing the drugs is not easy, but it depends on what type of pain you have. I was put first on Co-Codamol first then Tramadol. Adding Gabapentin came later. Don't know what path you're taking, but don't give up, there are many options. D

People who are on gabipentin have trouble with it and Some are having problems with it. Some have tried to go cold turkey and it cause a lot of trouble going cold turkey. It's dangerous to stop all at once. You need to go off slowly. Hopefully this Dr has something different to help your a strong person so keep fighting Don,,t give up there's got to be something that will help with out feeling like a zombie.
