Thought I would give this page a quick update on my progress. I was able to SLOWLY wean myself off of the Gabapentin I was taking. It took me 6 months of slowly reducing the amount to get completely off of the drug. I've been off for 2 months now and am very glad to have clear thinking, vision and my motivation back. However, the pain in my hand continues. I still have total numbness, horrible pain sensations, I can fully move the hand but it is painful making a full fist. I've just determined that living with THAT pain is better than living with the drug haze caused by the Gabapentin. So... it's possible to reduce or even eliminate that drug. At least now I know what my true pain level is... if needed I can go back on the gaba - but so far so good!
