Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?

I will sometimes take 1/2 of 1 tramadol - it dulls the pain and doesn't make me sleepy. I too, have had trouble getting it - one pharmacist started to hand it to me then snatched it back and said she had to investigate me (I had been getting all my prescriptions there for years, she knew that I only filled the Tramadol rx 2 or 3 times a year) because the Pharmacy Board said they would revoke her license if she sold medicine to a drug addict. At the DMV, a clerk said she couldn't give me a driver's license if I was taking Tramadol -- questions on the application ask you to list every medicine that you take and like an idiot, I wrote the truth. I asked to see her supervisor; she suggested that I fill out the form again and leave off the Tramadol. Next time, should I just lie in the first place? Peggy

@pfbacon Geez, that's a tricky situation.

@pfbacon

I've never heard of having to list meds for the DMV. That's weird. I would say that if it's something you take rarely, it would be reasonable to leave it off the list. I no longer include Percocet or orphenadrine (a muscle relaxer) because I take them so rarely. It just adds eyebrow raisers.

Yes, Peggy. You have to leave off some drugs. I once told the truth on my renewal and I was denied too, but those were the days before computers, so I went to another DMV office and did not tell the truth and I got my license. I don’t even let them know that I take medical marijuana.
