Gabapentin interaction with Theraflu Nightime sent me to Hospital.

Posted by lgpn5094 @lgpn5094, 20 hours ago

Gabapentin interaction with Theraflu Nightime. Fell and could not get up from floor. 911 to Emergency Room. Large muscles lost strength.
Subsided after 1 day but still unsteady walking. Anyone heard of that drug interaction?

@lgpn5094 - Drugs.com does show interactions including impaired coordination - https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/gabapentin-with-theraflu-flu-cough-1147-0-40-7453.html. Have you discussed the interactions with your doctor or pharmacist?

John,
Yes, I checked that out after I got home from the Hospital. I was paralyzed for 12-16 hours.
Ambulance took me to the hospital as I couldn't move or even lift my head.

Thankfully getting better slowly.

John,
I also had the flu, which can make anyone weaker. Perfect storm of causes.
