Hanging Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I am trying to taper off 7.5mg of Remeron (Mirtazapine). I want to use the titration method since my CNS is so sensitized at this point. Link to comment

Hanging Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) gabapentin issues while in diazepam wd I was prescribed gabapentin 3 years ago to help with sleep and anxiety during diazepam wd. I really don't know if it ever helped or not since I have had severe insomnia most of these 3 years. Now that I am at 2 mgs of diazepam, my sx have gotten much more severe. I have read that gabapentin has the potential to make the wd worse. I am nearly totally debilitated (weak, crushing fatigue, body aches unlike I have had previously). My PCP thinks thinks it is depression. I am 76 years old, and my body can't take much more of this. Any insights, please!! Edited May 29, 2019 by ChessieCat added topic title Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted May 29, 2019 Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2019 Welcome, Hanging. I moved your post to start your Introductions topic, where you can get started asking questions and update your progress as you go on. What times of day do you take your drugs? Are these side effects worse at any particular time of day? What is your sleep schedule? Did you recently change dosage of any of your drugs? Which, when, how much? Please put ALL your drugs in the Drug Interactions Checker https://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php and copy and paste the results or a link to them in this topic. This is not medical advice.
