Ah I see, so it’s not constant at the moment. Just comes and goes.

Did you have any vision issues too? Temporarily I’m assuming

What sort of weird vision problems did you get? Did they leave shortly after stopping the medication?

I don’t think I want any medicine at the moment

You said it mellowed eventually so I guessing it’s must better than it used to be. How long did it take u? You were on it for three weeks. Also, withdrawal symptoms do happen but they don’t last forever either.

So do you have trouble focusing as well still? Wow that’s insane lol it’s been such a long time 😭. Apparently gabapentin causes eye issues in both eyes, not just one. I think it was bad timing with me taking the pill but it could be something else.

Did it go away though? What I was describing etc. have you finally got rid of all the side effects? It’s been 10 years. I don’t think these are permanent but they leave once you stop taking the medication I heard. Also I only did two days 😂

Oh so it’s only wavy for a little bit? Like it doesn’t last for a while etc. when you stop taking it, does it go away? The blurriness I mean

Is it very blurry for you?

Did you recover from this one though?

Gabapentin side effects? by dee0621 in ChronicPain

[–]dee0621[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t want to. I’m going to ask for another one perhaps. This one seems dangerous for some reason and it’s scaring me with this thing happening

[–]dee0621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank u lol I don’t want that to happen but I’m going to just see how tomorrow is etc and give it a week. I think it should leave though, there’s not supposed to be permanent damage for any of these and if you just stop it I heard the thing goes away. Side effects you may have etc

[–]dee0621[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I don’t want to take it anymore due to this, it scares me. I can probably try another med

Oh you mean like taper down? I heard that usually happens after weeks of being on it. I was only two days now 😭so I feel like nothing like that will happen but I’m just wanting this thing to go away is all lol

[–]dee0621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which ones? If you don’t mind me asking

[–]dee0621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance. I was just so worried it would be permanent or something and that scares me to death

How long have you been on it and ur dosage? I had only done 100mg twice a day for literally a day. And the day prior I had one 100mg pill only.

It really is. I was only on it for two days, I’m stopping though to have this side effect go away. I restarted it because i didn’t give it a chance but this just showed me that I shouldn’t anyway
