So for anybody that hasn't read about me complaining on being in agony every single day with my back and leg pain:
In simple terms : Weight lifting injury, muscle spams, MRI showed nothing, Inflammation bloods showed nothing, Tramadol and Codeine aint working, totally agony every single day.
So I'm just out of an appointment at the hospital and the consultant gave me a referral to tell my GP to put me on GABAPENTIN,
However, I am prescribed 30mgs a day Diazepam from a Psychiatrist for anxiety and following a bad seizure a couple of years ago, and when I spoke to Dr the last time she said if she was putting me on an anti-seizure medication she would have to take me off Benzos (NO CHANCE)
It is 2 separate clinics so as far as I am aware the only person who has authority to reduce my Diazepam is the Psychiatrist who must see me first.
Basically , I need the Benzos for mental health and I need Gabas (maybe) for severe pain,
Can I be on Gabapentins and Benzos at the same time ? Obv I can but in GP's eyes ?
Worst case scenario : Self medicate with Benzos and never have to worry about W/D seizure because I'd be on GABAPENTIN anyway.
