GABAPENTIN IS SAFE TO TAKE OR NOT ?

2025-03-11 07:48:37
Hi my name is Mahak Swami. I was prescribed Escorvit PNM - Pregablin and now shifted to Gabapentin but I am very confused as to the fact that 1. As soon as I take Pregablin my body felt extremely week. 😩 But when I stopped taking it for sometime I felt weird sensations in my head and kind of bodyache. Now yesterday my doctor replaced Escorvit with Gabapentin and that too two times a day. I need to know whether I should have it or not And I am very scared now. Pls give me your best advise.
