Hi,

I've been tapering my k. I've been holding will be 4 months Sept Sept 23rd. I was having gi sx. My dr lowered my gabapentin by 300 from 900. She said I would be ok. So it's been almost 3 weeks. I feel awful. Better than I did. Sweating, burning skin feeling, emotional, anxiety bad, depression. I could probably hold it out, I'm just afraid I made myself even more sensitive than I already am. I would updose the gaba but I dont want to make myself more sensitive it's bad enough. I just dont understand this stuff and I have no help at home. Idk what to do. How long do these cuts take to stabilize from gabapentin. I'm afraid I'll never stabilize. I def feel less sx from the gaba cut but I was reading about sensitizing yourself and now I'm afraid I'm never going to heal. Thank you for any help. I'm sorry when I'm nervous I type terrible.

I see you posted on the support group thread but didn't get a response, I'm sorry.  I hope someone will stop by who understands Gabapentin.  Did you taper the 300 mgs?

I just found this thread, it looks like someone is in a similar situation to you, perhaps you could post there and compare notes.  http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=245559.0

Hi Pamster,

My dr. Said 300mis the standard drop. I knew better to listen to her. It's my own fault. It's just the not being able to go the bathroom, sorry and severe dry mouth was killing me. I can handle it I think. I just started thinking about sensitizing mybnervous sx. I'm afraid I really made it bad. Maybe take the rest of my life to stabilize.

Thx for responding pam. You are always here for us and I appreciate it!

Thank Pam, I'm so dumb right now I hope I can do it.

Oh man. I'm sorry D. No response from the gabapentin thread? Gardner is usually good at responding quickly. I wish I had some advice but I've decided to wait until I'm done with Valium before I try to tackle the gabapentin. If given a choice, I would probably up dose gaba before up dosing benzo. I hope you are able to stabilize soon

Hi jwl!

Thank you! I'm not sure what I was thinking. I never should have told her. Mostly I'm just extra anxious. I feel ok. Mostly anxiety. Do u think I'm overly sensitized from this. I freaking overlittle things again thatz how I know I'm off. ❤😢

Yes I think WD makes all of us "over sensitized". Our bodies don't like changes and what may seem so small can send us into a wave. I hope things settle down for you

Thanks Joel. I'm just now starting to understand alot of these bodily feelings. It's the revved up feeling I get. Everything revs me up and I have to sit till my body and mind slow down.

Being revved up is the worst. I'm just curious, why did your doc lower your dose of gaba?

[[De...]]

I'm revved up all the time everyday. When I was ctd 4 years ago it's when it started. I couldnt figure out what is this weird feeling in my body. I hope it goes away. I told her about my dry moth and fatigue. She said we could lower the gabapentin. So I agreed. Then when I got off the phone I thought, what did I just do! So I gave it a shot. The first couple of weeks were not so good. The sx are less intense. But, I'm in bwd, so you really cant go by my experience. I would wait if I was you. No point in adding more sx on y po urself. I have to learn patience.  I just hate this whole thing. It's so long.

It's weird because I couldnt explain it and I kept panick. I really thought I must be posessedmor I died, idk.mso that's when I was polydrugged and nothing worked.  I think that ct started the wd are I never stabilized. Thinking about it makes me so sad. A very dark time.
