Gabapentin Addiction Symptoms

If you’ve been thinking about quitting smoking but don’t know what to look for, the next time you go through a cold turkey stop, there are a few things that you can look for in order to be sure you’re on the right track and aren’t on the road to becoming addicted to Gabapentin. In fact, there are several things that you should watch out for, and you may want to take a few of them into account before deciding whether or not this treatment option is the right one for you. One thing to watch out for when it comes to Gabapentin addiction is the physical addiction. This is especially true if you have ever used this medication before, but since you’re not addicted to it now, it’s possible you could be physically addicted to this medication. Another sign of Gabapentin addiction to watch out for is the mental addiction. People who are addicted to Gabapentin tend to have severe withdrawal symptoms. It’s not unusual for someone who is currently on this medication to become suicidal if they’re no longer taking it. If you’re already on this medication, you may find yourself obsessing over it in a negative way, thinking that you must stay on it at all costs. When this happens, you’ll find yourself having constant, and very intense headaches. This is another sign that you need to get your withdrawal symptoms under control. If you notice that you’re constantly taking it in order to function, you probably will need to start taking a different medication. The last sign of Gabapentin addiction that you should be aware of is the financial addiction. It is very common for people to become addicted to this medication because they can’t afford it. They end up using it when they have the money, but they can’t afford to buy their prescription medication in a timely manner. If you find yourself in this situation, you may find that you are spending more than you should on this medication. You may also find yourself having to purchase a larger quantity of this medication in order to get enough of the dose you require for your symptoms. When this happens, you may find that you don’t have any extra money left over after your bill payments that you had been taking care of previously. Since you don’t have the money to cover your prescription medication, this may be the reason why you keep using the medication.
