Stopping Gabapentin
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist told me told take as much or as little gabapentin as I need to manage my pain level. He even prescribed the pill I can cut in half. 200 mg tab. My rheumatologist put me on plaqunil about a month ago. I am feeling like I don't need the gabapentin as much anymore. I ran out and felt fine until I got it refilled. Thoughts 💭.....

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 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.
