So I went to the rheumatologist the other day and they prescribed me gabapentin. However, the doctor never went over any of the side effects, so being the overly cautious person I am I decide to look them up and HOOOO BOY idk if I want to even try gabapentin anymore. They say it can ultimately cause dementia as well as:
• cause memory loss
•weight gain (which I already have problems losing weight anyway)
• clumsiness
Among many other things. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in a lot of pain, but I’m too scared to try it at this point. Has anyone tried gabapentin for chronic pain/fibromyalgia? If so, how was your experience and did you have any side effects?

"I hate myself" and "I deserved better than the way you treated me" are two thoughts that can co-exist. Deal with it.
My stomach has hurt for like 3 months straight, I just lost my insurance and I haven’t even gotten into the GI doctor yet

With the highest amount of respect, I will forever be amused that Stephen Hillenburg said, "I am a marine biology teacher by day and an artist by night and I have always loved the ocean so I want to use my art to teach children about the wonders in the oceans, by introducing all of these oceanic characters in a show that is both funny and educational" and then 2.5 episodes into that show, he said, "There shall be a Texas squirrel in a spacesuit."
