Well ladies... It has been over a week now that I have been properly on my new dosage of my neuro pain medication Gabapentin... And all I can say at the moment is bleugh! They are making me feel quite wretched at the moment and not noticing any plus sides at all. I know it's early days and it will take prob about 6 weeks to 2 months for me to feel the benefits but that's such a long way away!!
I am feeling so tired all of the time. My memory is shot to pieces... I seen to spend half the time sitting there or wandering around trying to remember what I am meant to be doing!! Lol. Very frustrating.
The worst effect I have had so far has been the night terrors. Horrid, evil, violent and vivid dreams. The kind that give you the feeling that stays with you all day. I have done some research into this and it's not unheard of... Around 1% of those on Gabapentin have recorded night terrors. Although I am sure that number could be higher with unrecorded people. The worst thing is I am so drugged up that I have been unable to wake myself from the terrors and so they go on and on all through the night. I am hoping that these effects wear off soon as I really don't think I can cope with that every day. It's been bad enough already!!
It's now only 11 days to go until I see my gynae. I cannot wait to be fair. I am eager to hear about this next bout of surgery, when and where it is going to take place and how long I will be out of the loop for. Counting down the days!!!
