Don't think that I'm an innocent purist when it comes to various pain pills. I have definitely sampled and regretted the experiences! I would love to find a way to be O.K. but I won't poison myself to get there. One extremely popular (at least to the prescribers) poison touted for effective pain relief among other things is gabapentin. YUCK!! Nasty! Beware! I was indeed prescribed this horrid stuff once, and just to give it the benefit of a doubt, I tried it with a prayer that a pill or two didn't cause me lasting harm. I couldn't see. I literally could. not. see. I don't mean I was in the dark blind. It's as if I couldn't control my eyes. It was like I was trying to balance on the deck of a boat in a violent storm! Oh God I felt awful and I was in pain too! I was SO afraid of keeling over that I had to stay in bed until the effects wore off-lost a whole day-never doing that again thank you! I couldn't read, watch Netflix or any freaking thing! I'm not the only one that has had bad experiences with the stuff either. A really horrifying thing is that some people are so desperate for relief and so trusting that they press on and continue taking the stuff, hoping that it will eventually work, I assume. Then, to their horror, they discover that they can't live without it! They have terrible withdrawals and have to resume their slow deaths from it just to feel like they aren't dying immediately!

The comments of actual people that take or have taken this stuff are mostly negative.
This dreadful poison has been the previous subject of lawsuits regarding fraudulent marketing and the studies determining its safety and effectiveness are questionable. If I was a doctor, I would consider it a violation of my professional ethics to prescribe it! Gah. No, I never assume that every doctor I see really has my best interests at heart. I know for a fact that I do. I intend to stay alive and as functional as possible for as long as I have to. This does not mean that I will be pain free. I will do everything within my power to keep myself well and to keep my pain to a minimum. Staying well means staying away from poisons! I told my doctor at the time about what it did to me and she told me that it took time to get used to. Used to h-ll! I fled from her clutches as fast as I could creep! If it is that bad from the start, the more is better thing just is not logical! This is a dangerous addictive substance and should be classified accordingly. Some people say it works for them-and good for them, but it sure doesn't work like that for everyone and the way that it ruins bodies and minds is just as awful as any narcotic. Who wants to become dependant on this thing, or any other things like it? I'm not writing this to scare you so that you remain miserable. I'm writing this to help you stay alive, relatively sane, and addiction free.
