I use Gabapentin for twiching legs when trying to sleep or RLS, it works very well, I have not had such great sleep for years....also i'm not as depressed as I use to be.

I'm sorry. I sprained my finger playing with my kid who was practicing karate on me. So I got shitfaced drunk when I wrote this. It's random and clearly I failed in grammar while writing it. Hell I don't even use proper punctuations while sober. SO I have no idea what the hell I meant by typing scryrofold. but anyibioticd is just dyslexic fingers. I'm sure you know what I meant by that. Most drug's effects start to wane a bit. neurontin doesn't seem to do that.

I take this for severe back injury. And another doctor put me on adderall. They're Safe to take together but wow what a feeling you get. No pain at all. But yeah scryrofold... some people have bad reactions to lots of drugs. With me it's most anyi bioticd. but dizzy is normal from the drug. But the other stuff sounds like an allergic reaction to sulfates probably in the drug. or just an allergic reaction in general

I had terrible reactions to gabipentin, dizziness, confusion, headache swelling, blurry vision, fever.
