I can not use any Gabapentin or ssri drugs, they affect my brain very strange. Until anyone has had this, they would never understand the pain. I have never needed pain pills in my life. They do not give me any sensation of being high. I would never abuse them. They work for what they are intended to be. As soon as we get this figured out...I want off of them asap. Will most likely have to taper them. I again don't know, as this is my first time ever taking them, for a chronic pain condition.
