I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one that has experienced this problem with Gamapentin. I began taking this medication several months ago for a pinched nerve in my back, and I have found that as I’ve increased the dosage, my pain has also increased. The other day when I began to notice blurred vision, nausea, confusion and some other negative side effects I completely quit taking gamapentine, to my surprise my pain has subsided. I’m not recommending that anyone go against their doctors recommendation however, I do believe that the medical community needs to better address the opioid epidemic versus putting individuals suffering from pain on alternative medications just as rapidly as they did opioids.
