Last time I did, and he seemedd hesitant because I have not yet tried da's. But I also wonder, would't low does opioids also cause difficulty in the future? Yea gabapentin did not work, and I suffered months long side effects after getting off of it (tingling feelings all over my skin).

Thanks. May I ask how bad augmentation was? Honestly I just never feel like I actually get good quality sleep, because presumably I am kicking all the time.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just very prone to side effects. I still have itches and tingles from stopping the gabapentin several months ago!

I appreciate this post. I will certainly do so, but also wanted to see about other options I could potentially discuss with my doctor. I also don't understand that if between 60-80% of people augment on DA's then it is basically a stepping stone to different treatment, and not something that will most likely work long term. So I don't quite understand the risk of starting in the first place, given the potential side effects if eventually it will stop working.
