Gabapentin Prescription Not Renewed

I could not tolerate either of these meds. Bounced off the walls going to the bathroom. Looked like I was drunk!

Gabapentin is the grandmother of Lyrica. I think your doctor should have explained your medication to you. One doesn't take multiple items of the same medication, doing the same task to prevent seizures and calm nerves.

I was only on gabapentin for a while and didn't get any relief from it. But when they started me on Lyrica Ive seen great improvement. I need to get a dosage increase now but can never make myself ask. But even with the effectiveness diminished, I wouldn't voluntarily remove it from my meds. My pain management and pharmacy got my scripts messed up and I was off for two weeks, I'd rather go without my pain patch than the Lyrica. Although it is horrible going on or coming off... totally worth it, your body adjusts fairly quickly...

Good news! Hope all works well with meds.
