Have you looked into checking your grandmother into the Gerson Instatute in Mexico? It's not just for Cancer patients. :)

My mother (85) was prescribed Gabapentin for loss of feeling in her feet. She had a double knee replacement about 4 months ago but had the tingling in her feet before that. However it got steadily worse and after taking the Gabapentin for 2 months she now has very little feeling from her knees down and is looking at ending up in a wheelchair. Her doctor has taken her off the Gabapentin - halved the does for one week and now completely stopped. She is now feeling very depressed and the loss of feeling just gets worse. Neither her surgeon, doctor nor nerve specialist can tell her what it is, how it happened and what will happen. I am at a loss what to do next as at 85 they just don't seem to bother.

I took gabbapentin to get of alcohol relapsed after 16 year , knew was getting addicted to gabbapentin after 10 or more days had to stop them, so i took a lot of codeine and gradually came of gabs halving them but codeine helped if you can get it strong , then its easier weaning of codeine than gab, i was in Thailand at the time this happened nightmare but did it.ps excuse my grammar dyslexic.

One thing I'd like to remind everyone of is that no matter what your doctor prescribes and why, you are under no obligation to take it. If something is making you that miserable, stop taking it and contact your doctor ASAP.
Unless, of course, it is a life-sustaining medication, such as something for a heart condition that you can't stop.
How are you all feeling, now?
