Linda, I'd be interested in what homeopathic you are taking? Was it prescribed for you by a naturopathic doctor, or did you get it over the counter? We live in Tennessee and among some of the other backward laws here they have one where naturopathic medicine is not recognized and therefore is not licensed. So we have tried to be our own naturopath and have ordered different homeopathics for different things, mostly with little success.

I have been taking Gabapentin for as long as I can remember. I take it for leg pain I have during the night. I stopped once to taper off but my legs hurt so bad I just continued taking it at night. My question is how does it affect you when you go off if it ??? Thanks !
