I have been on high doses of gabapentin for about 2 weeks. I will run through my script in the next few days. I have had two scripts total, now am on my second script (second script has double amount of gaba) Also taking tramadol 300mg per day, (100 3x/day) which helps immensely for my pain;
I was prescribed 80x 600mg about a week ago (prescribed, supposed to take 600mg 3x per day, however I now have about 25 pills left after about a week of being prescribed. I know I am abusing this medication, however (not to make excuses for myself):
There is a tumor in my cheek that I have had for around 3 years. I am scheduled for surgery for it in a few days. Over three years it grew from the size of a quarter to now the surface mass of around a baseball. It hurts like hell. I never dealt with it because well, methadone, meth, heroin, cocaine were my priorities for the last 3 years since developing it…. Bottom line, gabapentin really helps, and the higher the dose the better the relief, especially combined with tramadol.
Anyone have any idea of if there will be any problems from discontinuing this drug? Will attempt curbing my compulsion to take "just 3 more" in order to allow myself a taper for softer landing once I run out.
Any advice welcome. Oh yea, can't take drugs either because I am on probation. Just got out jail incarcerated 6 months.
