Dear Diary: I Want To Forgo With The Use Of GabapentinsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #palnet5 years ago

Today I had slept good thanks to God and without the use of Gabapentin. i used Gabapentin to heal or rid myself of the debilitating condition that is called a Restless Legs Syndrome or (RLS). but it was my own self had researched about it and treated with it because my doctor doesn't care or maybe didn't know about it.

Thankfully after a dose my restless legs syndrome went out just like that and I continued to take it but only twice a week since its effects really lasted between dialysis. Then I discovered about its good effects which is to improve sleep quality.

It was also my insomnia condition thathad made me taking gabapentin in a regular basis but still in a twice a week basis because of the price of that medicine which is not cheap. Well my sleep got improved and also my guts got calmer as well.

So it was like hitting two birds with one stone with Gabapentin. But there is more, taking gabapentin relaxes me and gives me a beter sense of wellness than not taking it so it takes away some of my body pain so with that it was really downing multiple birds with one stone.

But I wanted to forgo in using it because again drugs had some in one way or another just have an ill-effect on the liver and I do not want to burden my liver anymore with this drug although I am using it twice a day. Plus it also might be the cause of my blood pressure crashes during my dialysis session since the heart is a muscle too that gabapentine might be affecting with.

So I will be taking it of gradually until I am no longer really need it because I can sleep better now without it and I do not have restless legs syndrome anyway so it is maybe fine without it in my life.

Sort:  

I know that some of the side effects of Gabapentin can be not so good. It's good that you are weening yourself off of it. MEOW!!
