FDA Warns of ‘Serious’ Respiratory Problems With Gabapentin
Life-threatening breathing difficulties can occur in patients who use gabapentin or pregabalin with opioids or other drugs that depress the central nervous system, as well as those with underlying respiratory impairment and the elderly, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned in a drug safety communication issued today.
Welcome to the Average Joe Weekly blog. This is basically my place on the web where I can help spread some of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I served 10+ years in the Marine Corps on Active Duty, but that was some 25 years ago.
Never tried it before, but I hear nothing but horrible things about it.
For me Gabapentin actually works well, I have very little side effects. As the blog details, I have tried Cymbalta and Lyrica without much success, so Gaba it is for now.
been there done this stuff before, i hated it, no thank you i will stick with my lyrica
I’m glad that Lyrica works well for you, for me, it well sent me to the ER.
I have never taken this medication, but I have taken others that really have messed me up. Be careful with this.
I’m being careful and taking as prescribed.
I used to take this medication for years, but now I’m on CBD oil and I’m very happy on it. You really should give it a try. It has ND THC, which stands for No Detectable THC, so you shouldn’t pop on any urinalysis tests. It is a blessing from our savior.
I hear you, but I can’t take that chance.
I tried this junk a long time ago, I really didn’t like it at all. Is it actually working for you?

Matt, it is actually about the only thing that does work for me, sad as it is.
I take 600mg of Gabapentin every day, and I don’t have any side effects at all. I love it.
I take 1800mg a day and I have very few side-effects, now, but when I started, it was really making me sleepy.
Be careful with this, as it seems to be the only thing that is working for you.
I’m careful, I only take it as prescribed, thank you
I only take as prescribed
