Yikes! Breathing is essential to recovery. Call ur doc immediately. U could be allergic to it. Don't mess around with breathing probs. also it may be available in a different form that works for u.
I've taken 3 caps a day for a long time and can't say they help just top other pain mess, but a few weeks ago gp put my dose up to 2 caps 3 times a day for the pain and pins and needles I was getting in my scalp
Yes I had this as well as feeling itchy all over and a rash. I was told to stop it immediately as I was allergic to it.
Don't wait - call your doctor or the pharmacist immediately. I, too had a med that I was allergic to and had extremely severe reactions and I have to tell you - I thought I was going to die. It is very scary. I was on Gabapentin for a while and the only thing that I can remember about it is that it made me very dizzy and light-headed. I was on it for a long time, but because I was on so many meds, I couldn't tell if that was working for my pain or not. So, since I had those side effects, I felt that it was best I come off of it. I hope you find the answers you need and PLEASE call the doctor or pharmacist ASAP - having a problem breathing is a serious side effect of any medication. Good luck.
I have hadvthat prob with one of my meds before and come to find out i was allergic to that certain med and it took about a week to feel better from the side affects ....it sucks !!!
