This is the latest report I read on GABAPENTIN. I am concerned because I have started to forget words in the middle of conversations, the drugs gets me extremely groggy, as if I am drugged when I take the recommended dose of 600 mg., sleepy, and with no initiative to do anything.

I know my love but wots the alternative? I came off Pregablin for same reason- side effects. Actually, i dont know how long ill be able to tolerate the dose, but im one of those nightmare people who wake up thro anaesthetcis n need far much more than ordinary person to put me out.i seem to tolerate it well. I cant bear the pain - i recently tried it- came off most meds. Ooo! No way can i cope without pain relief.
Something i’ve Been told is that people with fibromyalgia have a medication intolerance- I am on Effexor and reacted to 37.5 for my first year, 1 year later I upped it to 75 and 3 years after I started taking it I’m at 150mg. So I try to start low on my meds because I have an intolerance to the strength. We also have a lot of medication sensitivities, so maybe try the gabapenten at a lower dose? I’m not sure
There are other pain meds than Gaba/nurontin. People can try different meds.
