I'm on Gabapentin, what was it that you couldn't tolerate if you don't mind me asking?

The only thing I noticed when I started taking it (other than the fact I could actually function again) was that it makes me tired and the withdrawal if I forget to take it/forget to fill a script is pretty horrible.

For me it was like feeling sick, having blocked nose, trouble breathing, tiredness and later on having anxiety that wouldn't not go away. Oh and trouble with thinking - I was not able to formulate sentences the way I wanted and my mind was often going blank.

It made me feel like I was drunk, so I couldn't work, drive, safely look after the kids, or generally live normally. I had the same thing with pregbalin.

I tried pregabalin and it was even worse for me, I though I will die.

If I understand gabapentin can sometimes cause hypersensitivity reactions.
