I was on gabapentine for years for severe back pain (failed back surgery and now osteoarthritis) l hated the way it made me personally feel, so I weaned myself off it. Took a month and then I realized just how manynI was taking. I filled up a large baggie full, could barely close it.. My pain was the same as it was before so why was I on it! I took the bag to the drugstore to have them destroyed. Never been back on it. As for my pain I am now on morphine. Ain't life grand
