Yeah I’m on 900mg 3 times a day atm. I’m thinking of asking the gp for an alternative.
There are different pain meds which they could try you on especially if you're still in pain, if they refuse or you don't feel comfortable taking something else then ask for them to refer you to pain management. They do a thorough review and find the right meds for you. I hope you manage to get sorted.

Things have changed a lot now though , someone just mentioned that it's likely specialists using them for long term rather than a GP just giving you them on repeat like they did years ago
I'm glad though, GPs don't know enough about those meds and long term effects. I was put on zopiclone, max dose nightly for over a year. It's a miracle I didn't get addicted but it's taken 5/6 years to get back to feeling tired naturally at a normal time

does anyone that takes gabapentin find they don’t work that well after being on them a while?
Have tired a tens machine? I swear by mine because I’ve got stenosis cervical and lumbar plus my pelvis and hips are buggered from spinning and fall down the stairs. Plus ask for steroid injection in the areas that are causing pain

I scrolled into Alicia's, and Olly is slating cc because we've apparently doxed him. Now that's news to me, I'm not a lover of doxxing anyone and I've never come across anyone doxxing Olly, (I find Olly a touch boring so why would anyone dox him?!) Also, Alicia, has made pics of the CC members that she doesn't like because we've called her ugly. - not a word I use.
Alicia, I know you read here, you're not a bad looking girl, and I'm not blowing smoke up my own arse but I'm guessing I'm 15yrs older than you, and I could still give you a run for your money when it comes to 'Looks' maybe change your attitude, stop gaslighting people, then they wouldn't come for you.

Gabapentin is also a bad one. It has a risk of dementia. I suffer terrible brain fog and I think gabapentin is the reason. I do worry about the dementia risk, I have a terrible memory now. But have no other alternative other than severe symptoms. They don't warn you before they prescribe these potentially life altering drugs!!!
I'm so glad you put this, I've been offered it and turned it down as I was worried about side effects - thank you.
I have hEDS, fibromyalgia and all the fun things that come along with those. I was offered meds like gabapentin and tramadol to help when nothing was working for pain. I turned them down as I tend to react badly to meds due to my hEDS, the stronger the meds the worse the reaction. Reading comments in here about people's experiences with strong meds has made me glad I got off it all once I reached codeine. Thank you all for sharing 🤎

I don't recall ever seeing one comment about Ollie in here you know , I sometimes forget we have other threads on here so could have been elsewhere 😂

He’s not been doxxed in this thread. We’ve hardly spoke about him in here because he’s not that relevant

Unfortunately all medication come with side effects and anything that targets the brain stem or the sensory cortex can lead to brain fog. But I wouldn't let that scare you or put you off from taking medication that is working for you. - especially if it's giving you a quality of life.
Congratulations on being cancer free BTW. 👏 💗
Thank you, luckily I've been blessed so far on being cancer free my whole life 🙏

It was someone else who announced that yesterday, not me 💋

My ailments threaten my life but I do count my blessings (when I'm not throwing my own pity party ) x
