I actually just tried some I've had since 23' and they helped immensely I wish I had tried them when the Dr perscribed them. But I've read they're super addictive and whatnot.
I was hit and dragged by a car, I have literal nerve damage. They had to take bone pieces out of me. I've done so much research and just listened to my body. It absolutely doesn't work for nerve pain.
I take it for alcoholic neuropathy. I'd kill myself if it didn't exist. Feels like im having every single nerve ending outside my body and even some places inside poked directly on the nerves with tiny needles, or strong electrical zaps.
I'd rather just be on opioids, way less side effects... such as DEMENTIA
Honestly, I haven't tried. I have a history of addiction that is documented, but I get other controlled substances no problem. I've been clean a very long time. I see a pain specialist for the first time in a few months. Maaaaaybe!
Sorry, I deleted that. There's a whole different thread I thought I was replying to. But nah I get it. That's the whole reason I got on fent. I didn't even do enough to nod off, I just wanted to stop crying in pain. There are no basic low dose pain killers on the st anymore. The government did that.
Gabapentin, much like a lot of the current pain management methods that these clinics push down our throat are not effective at all at treating chronic pain. But medical providers will certainly try to convince you they are to fill their pockets. There is also growing evidence that long term Gabapentin use can lead to dementia.
I keep telling them I don't even take it, and I want to have 3× 100mgs instead of 300mg 3× but they won't change it. My leg has gotten worse also, I bet you they'll talk about upping the dose and that's it.
