Suggest Ways To Manage The Side Effects Of Gabapentin
Question: I was given 300 mg of gabapentin for hot flashes as I am a breast cancer survivor. I have taken it for 20 days and don't like the side effects. Can I just stop since I haven't been taking it for very long?
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You can stop it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So you are consuming gabapentin in very low dose and since you dont appreciate good results, you can stop it immediately. No side effects.
Moreover, venlafaxine will be a better drug for hot flashes and you can discuss this with your doctoe.
Thanks and regards
