Hi
I wanted to know if anyone else has stopped taking Gabaptine gradually has suffered angery flare ups which are not normal for me. It did not reduce symptoms (pains) at all, even though it was at the top dose. I also have had headaches for the last 4 days. I am hoping that Pregablin or Duloxatine will improve things. Anyone have a similar experiences ?
Hi, yes I had similar experience with Gabapentin, I flew at anyone, especially if they didn’t provide a professional service. Snapped at people, including close family. Initially it seemed to ease pain & was gradually increased. After 6 months I told my brilliant gp I felt Gabapentin wasn’t working so I gradually decreased to come off it.
Three weeks ago I began taking Pregbalin & it works for me really well. Just inreased the dose so might have side effects and then I’ll return to initial dose.
I also have buprenorfine, voltoral gel, and diclofenac - not every day though, just when needed.
Good luck.
