Hi lunesta
People might feel they want to defend a drug which they are taking if it is described as a poison, to which it is okay to take, if they are taking it forever...
As I said over on my post to you on Administration, one mans poison, can well be another mans potential life saver when it comes to psychiatric drugs.
Even everyday sugar can be like this in everyday life. Although when discussing 'poison' i'm not entirely sure Gabapentin fits the accurate desciption of the word, if it does, then that would mean all other drugs be them psychiatric, anti epileptic, lithium, etc, are for more harmful 'poisons' when compared to Gabapentin, when confronted with some various parts of medical evidence about the specific drug.
>being poison not making an issue of forcing things down peoples throats so it strikes me odd you defend it so heavily.
>get off it. the drug is poison. trust me on this i know a lot about it. it screws with a lot of systems especially substance P. Please get off the drug ASAP and stay away from lyrica too.
>Unless you plan to be on them forever.
How about - I had to get off it. I found the drug to be like a poison. I know alot about it from my experience. It alters many functions throughout the body. (as do all drugs) You might want to consider withdrawing from the drug under your doctors supervision. Also Lyrica is a similar drug, so it may be best to stay clear of that too as to avoid the same problem.
Unless you reacting differently of course, your milage may vary and it could be something else, but bear this in mind.
Kind regards
Nick
Ps how could you stay on it forever, if like you said over on Adminstration it is considered being taken off the market? (I replied to your post over there)
