Hi.
I am glad we connected.
Both Gabapentin and Tramadol do not cause a fruity smell. Have you noticed a fruity smell in the urine?
This may be seen with maple syrup urine disease and with some types of glucose storage diseases. Getting a check up to confirm the reason for the fruity smell would be a good idea as well.
Do let me know what the doctor says. All the best!
