Hi,
I hope I am posting this in the correct section.
I am taking 3000mg of gabapentin per day for quite a while now. At first, it was a blessing, taking away most of my pain. Now it no longer works nearly as effectively, and I NEED to have a break from this so it can start working again, tolerance has finally hit me on the head entirely.
Then I hope to god I can take gabapentin (not everyday) but sometimes, and keep it working. With the muscle pain levels I am back too, I am finding it almost impossible to do day to day tasks.
If I try and stop the gabapentin, or even lower the dose slightly, withdrawls are crippling me with severe anxiety and even more extreme pain.
I have tried Kratom a couple of times in the past, and it helps my pain (not nearly as well as the gabapentin did). If I could start taking gabapentin 1 day on and 1 day off. And on the off days taking Kratom. Then making it 2 days on 2 days off (taking kratom on the off days) until it was one week on Kratom and one week on gabapentin.
Would this work? I am desperatly seeking some advice. ''Not'' medical advice. Just if this kind of rotation can be used effectively at keeping tolerance down to both drugs?
Any help is much appreciated
