Just saw my gp. He said it was fine to slowly reduce my gabapentin by 300mg a week. So it will take 8 weeks to come off it.
He said he has had a few folk complaining about weight gain on this med.
Am v happy! Already come off a statin, omacor, buspar and kemadrin.
Not touching the APs at the moment. Would love to go on seroquel XR but don’t see that happening.
Actually I think once I am off gabapentin I should just leave things as they are for a while and let my body recover. If I could lose weight that would be great.

i’d love to come off my pregablin but idk how it will affect me, before i got put on it i had been getting chest pains and tension and i think it helped but i’m not sure, i cant remember how effective it was, maybe it was psychological idk,
anyway i hope you can lose some weight

Hey @asgoodasitgets thanks for the support.
I just don’t know if my gabapentin is doing anything anymore. At first it’s effect was noticable- now not so much. But maybe it is working in the background. I guess I’ll find out.

Hey flame.
I thought it was just me. Yeah mega mad munchies on the gabapentin - honestly I think it is worse than the seroquel.
It seems to me it only works for about a week…it works…its just easy to build tolerance to…

Lexapro works great for my anxiety. I was having panic attacks and now I don’t have then anymore. It doesn’t give me any munchies.
