Deady Combination Gabapentin & Depression meds

Posted , 2 users are following.

Gabapentin and antidepressants are a deadly combination. I can say first hand what it has done to me. The neurotransmitters in my brain no longer have the ability to control the systems in my body including heart kidneys, etcetera. Yes, I have been left with permanent brain damage. The pain specialist to put me on gabapentin for a for a pinched sciatic nerve never bothered to discuss possible drug interactions comma side effects or what might happen should a dosage of Gabapentin be missed. It has taken me a year hospitalizations because I thought I was having a heart attack for me too research and discover what has happened. I am off both drugs now Prozac and Gabapentin but the damage is done and it's irreversible. I welcome any questions or comments regarding what has happened to me or what might be going on with you and can go into further details. I am currently working with an attorney regarding a class action lawsuit. God bless all of you who are on gabapentin. Also please excuse any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors because my brain doesn't function like it should any longer.

    OMGOODNESS! That's terrible. I am so sorry this happened to you! Makes me know I have to be more & more vigilant about what the doctor prescribes me. We all need to do our homework. It's the only body we get! Thank you for sharing! God bless you!

      Thanks Willy for the Blessing and, yes we all need to stop and do some research before accepting ANY DRUG that any type of doctor wants to give us whether it is samples or a prescription! I just came home from the hospital. It was my second trip to the E.R. for symptoms of a heart attack. Neither time was it truly a heart attack. It was symptoms caused by the brain, due to poorly firing neurotransmitters! That is just one of many problems that I shall endure for as long as I live. 😖Needless to say I don't have a very good opinion of traditional medicine any longer. And, my career was always in the healthcare field.
