On Gabapentin And Oxecodone. Having Leg And Feet Pain. Stopped Due Constipation. Having Pain. Remedy?
Thank you for posting your query.
You have done everything correctly, and there is no need to worry about your decision.
Gabapentin is a good drug for controlling neuropathic pain, and it can be safely continued for long periods.
Oxycodone is more likely to be the reason behind your constipation, so, we expect improvement in that symptom, now that you have stopped oxycodone.
If your neuropathic pain does not improve, then, pregabalin and duloxetine are other options.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
