I am currently on the following meds:


Lithium, Methocarbonate (Right name for muscle relaxer?), Divalproex, and now Gabapentin(as of 3 days ago now).


The Gabapentin is for severe chronic back and neck pain but I have noticed that I can be annoyingly hyper... Hence ADHD-HD.


Anyone else have this kind of issue?


Thanks

it would probably be good to talk to your dr about this side effect.

Hi there 1D

Great to hear you're going to speak to your dr if the condition continues. They're the best ones for giving advice for this.

I wonder if other members can come forward and share their experiences.

I'm not entirely sure of some of the meds you're on, as in, have not really heard much about them.

Take care.

I try to ignore the side effect warnings on meds as I tend to kind of psych my self out and think I have them.


Makes it difficult when you do that for some strange reason.

I don't even look at them, I want blinders on when I start a new medication so I can objectively evaluate it. The only time I look at the side effects profile is after being on the medication for a month or if I'm having a problem that's unbearable.
Thanks for this!
