Memory disorders effect of Gabapentin

because I was prescribed this drug too high doses, I got syncopal attacks. I was about 8 times a day unconscious, had memory and memory disorders and doctors told me, my attacks were very life-threatening!

The sole use of gabapentin after the second operation (middle-hand fracture on the right with postoperative chronic neuropathic pain), initially high-dose at that time, caused me great difficulties. I got severe acne, flooded and was restricted in the reaction, the ability to think and to remember. Likewise, the rather rare but very unpleasant microsleep occurred to me. Then I got Targin prescribed to greatly reduce gabapentin. I’m fine with it, the pain is almost gone. From the prognosis, I try to reduce further, of withdrawal symptoms that affect me, I can not report.

I have tilidine 5xtgl. 20 Tr. taken.Has worked well in combination with the other drugs. Was for the first time after 2.5 years really 24 hours painless. After 5 months I have the Tilidindosis on 3xtgl.20Tr. I went down, as I have the disturbances in memory and the permanent tiredness as increasingly disturbing. There was a great sadness (depression?), Which flattened after about 3 months. But I can live with that, because of the painlessness I could walk upright and again over longer distances. Since July 08 all pain is gone and I try to stop the medication altogether. After I tried to stop everything at once, but this had terrible withdrawal symptoms / pain result, I now taste carefully at lower doses zoom. Is tedious and has the worst side again the great sadness in the luggage, but I want to get rid of it and so I have to go through there then. At the moment I’m 12Tr at tomorrow. Tilidine and in the evening 16 drops and ibuprofen I reduced to half-900 mg and gabapentin by one-third to 600 mg. I’ve noticed that I often feel very powerless and feel like I can not get my feet up. But that is only the case if I have not taken my tilidinration yet. After taking it takes about 30 minutes and I’m totally fit. So also a doping agent. I did not discover this effect until the end of August. Really good help with the exit is not good to get. I had a great general practitioner who unfortunately closed his practice. The pain clinic that I visited now did not really help me either. I’ve been that far before. Can the withdrawal actually be made stationary? If I’ve done it, I’ll get back to you. Greetings Olivia

I suffer from endometriosis, a benign but very painful gynecological condition in which adhesions in the abdomen cause permanent pain. I am therefore treated as a chronic pain patient. Among other preparations u.a. Targin, a prolonged-release opiate (evenly dispensing), received gabapentin in a dosage of 3x 100mg per day, which I tolerated well. Gapapentin was increased to 3 x 300mg when the pain pattern changed. Already in the intermediate dosing of 3 x 200mg side effects arose, which intensified with final dosage of 3 x 300mg. These are in outstanding form: loss of memory, I could not remember jobs completed in my job or things that my partner told me the day before. I could have taken an oath to not have done this job or that my partner would never have said that. I had constant fatigue, headaches and was irritable, my partner said I was very aggressive. I had the worst nightmares in which I hyperventilated and screamed in my sleep. Even the wake-up phase lasted for seconds until I realized that my partner had woken me up and saved me from the dream. I had tachycardia, sweats and dread. Furthermore, a very distressing side effect is the loss of my orgasm ability with constant libido. Already after 2 days shutting down or stopping the medication with gabapentin, the side effects disappeared.
