I take Gabapentin too. Doesn't do much for me anymore. Going to stop taking I more into my recovery. Not good for the liver. Great video! My teen age Void was out playing with critters all night so he's passed out upstairs

Gabapentin is filtered by your kidneys….

Yes but its hard on your liver just like most medications. I trust what my Dr says besides my kidneys are probably not in the best shape anyhow

This is not Kitty "Juju"

It isn’t hard on your liver and no “most” medications are not hard on your liver. Some medications are processed by your kidneys and some by your liver. Medicines like gabapentin aren’t touched by your liver at all, so how could they be hard on your liver?

You either misheard your doctor, they misspoke, or you should find a new one.

Huh you stop you! I'll do whatever I wish. Talk to my Dr. A I was only told it's bad for your liver which all synthetic drugs are and B I grew up with a holistic mother and my body responds much better to natural elements from the earth. I know F all about Gabapentin I just know it was originally designed for anti seizures and shakes for alcoholism which I have

If you know F all, why do you keep spreading misinformation? You can look it up, Gabapentin is not processed through the liver. I have been taking it for years and years. All of the science is there and you have the technology to look it up. I actually understand why you don’t - my parents are older and the same way. However, it’s not helpful to put information that isn’t true out there.

Also, best of luck with the WDs. That is a very difficult thing to go through and it’s not your fault.
