@vash I'm sorry about your mom's cancer diagnosis. That certainly adds to your stress. How good of you to care for her.

Have you communicated with your doctor about how you felt since taking one 100mg of Gabapentin? They will help guide you through and typically start very slow and safe.

Stress is a big inducer of pain which is why stess-management is crucial towards helping manage symptoms. Antidepressants...ehhh, I personally am not a fan, but realize some people benefit from them.

Considering your faced with the challenges of health, your mom's health, and your job (some major life events), can you reach out to friends or family for support and positive distraction? Have you considered speaking to a therapist to sort out your emotions and how your life changes may be affecting you?
