Given in and back on the gabapentin

After struggling more and more I’ve given in and resumed the drugs. I’m twitching, aching, pathetically exhausted and eyes flickery so not ideal. Seeing as I’m not diagnosed not sure whether I can call it a relapse or not!

Moan over.

Hi Deb I just hope the drugs will help and that you start to feel better. Teresa xx

Hi Deb,

Hope you feel better soon, I take gabapentin and it works to a degree for me. Hope it will again for you.

Hi deb. Can I be cheeky and ask how much gabapentin you take per day. Mg. I have the same symptoms you are having and my left eye has syarted flickering this week. I had double vision at the start of the year and worry its going to happen again. I hope you feel better soon and send you my regards. Adam x

Morning all and thank you for your ongoing support Teresa and Janet, it honestly means a lot.

Adam - when I took it before I took 3x300mg tablets morning and evening and 2x300mg in the afternoon. I also had Tramadol then and felt good, better than I had in months. Stupidly I stopped, thinking I want to know what I’m like ‘au naturale’. This time I’ll build it up again without the tramadol to start with and see how I go. Good luck with yours -how much do you take?

Going to docs this evening to see what can happen next - they don’t know my neck/back angle affects my arms, legs and jerks so will emphasise that as I think it might be the key bit of info!

I take 1800 mg per day as and when. I get bad jerks and baclofen has suppressed them, which is a good job as I draw on people all day. The tablets make me rather tired by about 3pm though, well the tablets or the ms, I’m not sure which. good luck at the docs later, let us know how you go on. Adam x

You ‘draw’ on people? Are you a tattoo artist? I’m not a tattoo fan but it’s very skillful art

Yeah I have a great job. I love it. How long it will last I don’t know bit as long as I’m steady I’m ok. Not a tattoo fan. There is some beautiful work out there. I’m covered but I’m getting marsh now as they seem to hurt more nowdays. You should get a liittle one though. X

It’s not giving in deb it’s a bit of extra help to get you through. I hope they work quickly for you. Good luck for the doctors xxx Adam I have 2 tattoos and love them, they’re very addictive though!

Very addictive. I’m covered . Lol
