Not good on drugs

So I stopped gabapentin ages ago as I was trying to figure out what was causing my breathing issues (wasn’t that but good ol’ ms) but the nerve pain and numbness came back with a vengeance. I started Pregabalin but am now withdrawal-ing from that since yesterday. The blurry eyes, dizziness and thumping headache and not much pain relief came to a head yesterday. I can’t take amatriptiline (sp) as it reacted with baclofen and I had a massive fit. No longer on baclofen either. So is there anything else I can take or does this mean I will just have to grin and bare it. Feeling really lost now.

@bexvm , how long, and what dose, of Pregabalin were you on? There is one further medication that you could try, Duloxetine (Cymbalta).

@Bexvm

2 tablets morning and evening, and I was on duloxetine before and was a total zombie. I came off it and death would have been a welcome release. I had ALL withdrawal side effects, brain zaps etc. It was truly the worst 6 months of my life. So I I’ll pass on that! 😉 my neurologist even says I’m shit on drugs! 🤦🏻‍♀️
