Gabapontin swollen painful
i have been on the gabapontin since last may and the pain and my stomach is so swollen it feels like after eating there is no room even when i eat small amounts of food, i have had a swollen stomach for a few years but nothing like this, i worry about changing to a different drug because i have lots of problems with side affects, can anyone telll me if they have had problems with gabapontin?
Gabapentin was the first thing they put me on and it provided immediate relief from my nerve pain but it made me dumb af and bloated. After 2 weeks I had them change me to something else…and 2 days after I stopped taking it I 💩 my brains out. So it’s my understanding gabapentin and similar drugs slow down the digestive tract. I started on Lamotrigine and it’s not immediate relief like the gabapentin but I think it is helping. I also started taking magnesium glycinate to help my gut cause it’s def struggling,
Im still on gabapontin im trying to get off it but its a waiting came to see my doctor but i have found to have the same problem at the start so i spoke to my gp and it can make you constipated a little and make you full but in reality your not my doctor gave me laxative to help me but i only use it if its really bad now as my body getting use to it but for stomach pain i was giving pain relief which is to ease the stomach which ive been told only to use it if i get cramps which works so i would speak to your doctor and see of they can help
