I take progabline 600mg a day I was on 699mg gabapentin I have put on weight I have mobility issues as well I don't know if I could stop taking my tablets I have forgot to take them a few times and I have paid a price the pain plus I would have to be ween off of all my tablets they are additive if I have this modulation disc put in my back I could work then I will be off the pills.
They made me gain weight to but I have skipped pills to and like you have paid the price I haven't been able to work for two years
I've skipped neurontin, and now on lyrica, if miss a dose , I pay!! Yes,, you have to wean off!!!
I tried lyrica made my joints hurt so much I could hardly walk tried cymbalta made my hair fall out and didn't help pain some of hair came back but not all of it
