Go to main mng!!!! They are the only ones that can prescribe pain medicine and regulate them with the government!!!!! Drs just don't like prescribing them because of the epedimic!!! I had to go to pain mng, it sucks because it regulate your plans in your life!!! In pretty positive u hv to get a referral from your dr!!!! Maybe someone already helped u, idk, but prayers for u

So, after orthopedic surgeon told me to take gabapentin 300 mg as I didn't want another spinal surgery fusion, I did NOT take them after reading side affects. Instead, I went to pain management, am getting epidural steroid shots (don't hurt) and take 5 mg of oxycodone/ Tylenol ONLY when necessary (like maybe 2 or 3 a week. It works, believe me. That's all I will do. I read too many bad side affects about gabapentin. The oxycodone only makes you feel a little tired, so I only take them at night and it calms my back and legs.

I have been on gabapentin for a long time. I've been having urge incontinence for a while. Now I think I'll tell my p-doc to taper me off. Peeling in my pants is no joke. I just went off wellbutrin because I was swerving and falling. I got better when I got off

I was on Lyrics for 5 years started having episodes where they thought I had mini strokes didn't know my name.After 3 times my Dr.said his guess was Lyrica,after months of withdrawal got off them.I had to go on gabapentin 4 years ago for nerve damage from a neck and back fusion,I started weaning myself off 2 months ago started a 600mg a day,finally took my last one Sat.morning.The burning in my hands and legs is getting better,the nausea is better today.I think I will beat this yet.Taking 2000mg of cinnamon,400 mg of magnesium and turmeric it helps.

I took Magnesium when I stopped taking Gabapentin and it really helped the withdrawals. They seemed to last a little longer than a week. Two weeks before I felt totally normal.

I only took 600 mg at night and tapered down over a month & I still had some nasty withdrawals.
Magnesium and vitamin B really helped. I felt ok after a couple weeks, but not myself again for about a month.
Opiates were easier to come off. I took oxycodone every day for years, weaned off them, and withdrawals were over in a week. The third night was the worst.
Gabapentin withdraws are worse.
Magnesium really helped me.
