GABAPENTIN IS SAFE TO TAKE OR NOT ?
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.

Most important thing is to understand why you are being given Gabapentin. Depending on that we can decide if you need Gabapentin and at what dose.
Next Steps
Consult Neurologist/neurophysician.
