I am a 77 year old agent orange Vietnam PD recipient. I was also given Gabapentin. First day one tablet, second day two tablets, third day start am-noon-pm. I was on three tablets three days and threw the bottle away. My memory dropped from can't remember yesterday to can't remember 20 minutes ago. Every pain I had got worse. I truly just wanted to die and get it over with. All of my random pains became less random and more pain. I try to do 1 or two hours a night of research and I try to stay on the edge of as few drugs as possible and every morning my wife makes me a tonic of Tumeric, ASV, ginger, honey plus some Asian herbs - there are a lot of names and formulas but those are the basics. Mixed as a tonic of 8 ozs of room temp water. I chug it. I take all the more highly recommended vitamins like b, c, d, e . the dopa/dopa seems to help some but the natural stuff seems to be the most stable. After covid (I got it) I am looking at drug companies as enemies and if something doesn't help I stop it fast. I am not a doctor and I can be drummed off this site but I am the only one that really cares about me and if I don't like what its doing to me I stop it.

So sad to hear they did that to you, I experienced the same thing. Just tried to get a referral to a neurologist and instead they tried me on gabapentin and 3 days out , Bam! I was so cripple it was and been excruciating, fine when laying down but getting up is a nightmare. Can’t barely get up or out of bed without excruciating pain and can’t walk barely due to the pain .. The medical field has been taken over by Satan himself
