How To Get Gabapentin Out Your System

Updated

I have bipolar. I've been taking gabapentin for 2 years now. I just changed pharmacys & getting a different manufacture of the gabapentin. I have been crying about an hour after I take it & get nausous. I have never had this problem before. Do u think it could be the way its manufactured?

Hello, Cindy! How are you?

There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to the next, or when going from the name brand to a generic, so that might be what's causing your problems. It sounds like the new ones might be a little stronger than the one you were taking, before.

Both the nausea and the mood swings can be normal side effects of this medication and would be expected with a dosage adjustment.

You may also experience dry mouth, dizziness and weight changes.

How long have you been taking this one?

Usually, since the differences are so slight, it only takes a week or so for your body to adjust.

But on top of that it feels like im being stabbed with a billion needles and about 6 other side effects. Is there any other meds I can go to that with help me come off gabapentin????
