I started on 100mg x3 gabapentin and then worked my way up to 300mg x3 daily. Once I got to 300mg I became so damn stupid. So then I told my pain mgt doc and she almost fell out of her seating laughing by the way I told her I’m dumb but then she wanted to see if Lyrica would be any better. Got on 75mg x3 and I’m still very stupid.
I never remember anything and forget words mid sentence or what I’m even talking about.
Anyone else have this struggle also?
Ah, so they weaned you into it. Which could be why you’re still feeling the daze and lag.
As I’ve gotten older, the question becomes what works, as far as a side effect, if your body can adapt to the issue, this might be the best choice.
Every medication has side effects and some have far more than others but spread out. So if you can stick it out a little longer, I would stay on it a little longer to rule out if the issue passes.
But I’m old but internet standards lol and learned, with medications, sometimes you’re best off accepting, close enough.
