Gabapentin it's awesome. It's a nerve blocker that works wonders. You have to take consistently to maximize the benefit. I know if I forget a dose with in an hour the pain gets awful. I think if he gets better at taking it as intended it might really help! I'm on 600mg twice a day. When I started on it I was at 900mg three times a day. You do have to ween off it or you can get one hell of a headache. But the stuff is great. Non-narcotic so you can think clearly and deals with the pain! Also I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with addiction like that from such a young age! You'll be in my thoughts as you conquer it like the bad ass shitperson you are! Showing yet again that fatties get addicted to everything and just want more instead of realizing an issue and improving. Mad respect for you! The DD managed to kill themselves. Not to put on the fat hate even more but he was an obese chronic drunk driving with out a license or insurance. Since fuck everyone else! He wasn't wearing a seat belt went flying out of his vehicle and from what I heard smeared up a sizeable part of the road.
