Neurontin: D Like T

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Minneapolis, MN

Is it wise to taper off of gabapentin slowly? My prescription is far above the studied dosage, and have experienced some confused thought process...i.e.) losing words, short term memory loss. I've been on it for several years, but my condition has worsened and is better controlled with another med.

Is It Worthwhile To Go Off Our Meds Every Once In A While, To Cleanse And Reset Our Body?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Walkersville, MD

We all know how after a while our medications no longer work, or they are not strong enough. We also know that pain is cyclical in nature and that sets us up for this never ending need for our meds and for them to get stronger. And knowing this, and that we'd be in excruciating pain for 5-10 days while we reset, is it worth it?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

These warm days make me wish I could have recess or summer camp again, and run and play..... My days of running are long gone.
