Gabapentin side effects?

@rwinney Thank you for your response so quickly. Yes, I have my medical marijuana card. I have used oil 1:1. It helped some for sleep but no for pain. I go to the dispensary when I can and they no longer carry the same oil I have other products some higher THC. A speak too much THC and I am so anxious I can hardly talk. I have a J as they are called here. I tried several times and lit up, but did nothing but choke. It wasn't that I didn't know how to smoke. I smoked until 8 years ago. I probably need to have one of my nieces over and they can give me a lesson. They certainly are willing. I know THC:CBD can be a life saver. I have not given up and I have several different products. The last time I purchased a spray 1:1. I don't like that at all. It has blueberry flavor and really don't know how much to spray in my mouth. The gabapentin was prescribed for my neuropathy and fibromyalgia. Have others experienced pain that feels like your skin is raw and rubbing against a piece of sandpaper. Yes, ice is good. I will be putting an ice bag on the top of my feet very shortly. I did get some relief earlier after getting up from a flat position. I took the percocet and applied the epsom salt foot gel. The gel actually felt good. My anxiety is returning because night is rolling in. The pain and anxiety makes for a very painful night. I am alone. My husband died 2 years ago and night are the most difficult. I know something has to give. Love you all. Stay safe. I know all that is happening in the World feeds into the anxiety which feeds the pain.

I am having a very hard time right now and have been. I have neuropathy, lymphedema, osteoarthritis. You all know, those painful ailments. Also fibromyalgia which I tend to forget until I tell the doctor I am so much pain and he reminds me. What is doing what I don't know. The pain and swelling in both ankles and feet is causing me to cave. Both my ankles and top of my feet feel like all the skin has been rubbed raw and alcohol poured on them. The water in the pool I go to for physical therapy burns them so bad I could cry. There are deep lines in my ankles just from sitting. Proping my legs and feet up does not help. I had been taking 600 mg of Gabapentin before bed. I thought maybe cutting it down to 200mg twice a day may help. No difference and I still don't sleep. I take 50 mg of amitripliline (elavil) at night supposedly for neuropathy pain. I still do not sleep through the night or 2 hours at a time. I take 37.5 Effexor in the morning for depression. Still depressed. I was laying down a while ago, but could not rest. I got up and could barely put my feet on the floor because of the swelling and pain. I just took a percocet which I am perscribed, 3 a day. I usually only take a half, but I just took a whole one. I feel a little relief after taking that and rubbing epsom salt foot gel on my feet and ankles. My sister had sent me a tube of that to see if it helps. This is the first time using it. Can't hurt. She purchased it in the dollar store near her and actually feels cool. My ankles and top of my feet were hot to the touch. The numbness is so bad that when I went to put the gel on I reached to my leg to pull the socks I did not have on, off. Right now my ankles and feet are pulsating and pain again. Any suggestions, recommendations? Not much sense in calling a doctor. They are not seeing patients unless it is very necessary. My doctor is aware of my problems and not sure he will do anymore after talking to me on the computer. I understand where the doctor's are coming from at this time. I needed to share my feelings right now. I thank anyone with any response, recommendation or suggestion. I also take a fluid pill in the morning and potassium.

TO ALL IN PAIN; All of your stories are truly breaking my heart. Why do us human beings have to go thru this? Life has enough challenges, much less having a body that is in a state of chronic pain. I can barely read your posts today, it gets so sad. May everyone's day have a pain level that you can tolerate. My heart feels broken for everyone. May God give you peace...I do not even know what to say.....Lori R.

@lorirenee1 This is just for you Lori Renee because you're right ...things do get heavy and very sad. Hope it makes you laugh!! Goofy me 🤣

<p>My Dr prescribed Gabapentin 300mg caps last Friday. I took one at bedtime & woke up at 3:30a.m. in horrible pain. Has anyone else experenced anything like this?</p>

@rwinney Rachel, You are so damn cute and funny! I have mustard all over my feet, as we speak, and it ain't doin' anything. Maybe I should try horseradish. Is it possible to love strangers? Cause I love you. I think about you. My heart gets heavy from all our pain. Made me cry today. It's just not fair. I took 9 pills of Kratom already today, so the day is a bad one. Maybe we all need CURSE therapy. You just CURSE your pain away. Post another giant picture of you. So darn cute.....I wish you a day you can cope with. D@MN!!!!! Lori Renee

@rwinney Hi again, Rachel....another thing I do when pain is very bad, is go to youtube, and watch the old comedians; Buddy Hackett, Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, Andrew Dice Clay (who has a bit about watching stag films with his teenage son. You could pee in your pants, its so inappropriate.) But comedy does help me, a lot. Oh the agony, oh the ecstasy!!! SH%T!!!! Lori R.

Have you tried vaping your dope? Spring for a device and tun it on the lowest of the 3 settings. Does your store carry vaping pens? Be careful, theypack a wallop.
