    19 days off I think, not sure, brain is so foggy. Bad drug. Felt awful today, had most of the symptoms. Will rest this weekend, lots of water, and magnesium supplement.  

    Blessings, I trust we will feel better each day and get through.

      Deebee,

      This med is so evil! Now I am having breathing issues! Still have itchy prickly skin, blurry vision! I was only on it 3 months! I can’t wait until the day comes we can all say we are normal and gabapentin free!!!!

      Oh no, sorry to hear! Maybe see a doctor?
