Hi @elizaolson, I think you are wise to chose not to drive while taking Tramadol and Gabapentin. Both drugs may have an effect on your ability to drive safely.

"Gabapentin may cause vision changes, clumsiness, unsteadiness, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, or trouble with thinking. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert, well-coordinated, or able to think or see well."

"You should avoid driving, operating machinery or other activities that require mental alertness until you know how tramadol will affect you. If the drug continues to impair your physical or mental ability, do not drive or perform potentially hazardous activities"

Do you have any friends, relatives or neighbors that could take you on some short drives to help with the cabin fever?
