I vary the number of pills I take of both gabapentin and tramadol. If I don't need the prescribed amount I don't take them but if I do then I go ahead and use as I should. Do talk to your doctor about this and see what s/he feels. My doctor is pretty good at letting me try different things.
I was on plaquenil for over 13 years, no eye problems ever! Was told I had lupus and sjogrens, now told don't have lupus??? Now Fibro, off plaquenil and on Gaba, thinking want to go back on plaquenil, and don't know about these gaba's, still in pain, mainly in hips and lower back
Yes i have been on it for about a yrs. It does help with pain (plaqunil) my eyes are fine.
I was on Plaquenil for a year, and was told it is supposed to slow down the autoimmune response.
They are still trying to figure out what I have. I have to have frequent eye exams because of med of plaqunil. I am aware and don't like this possible side effect.
