Brief Answer:
Take substitute drugs as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Yes, abdominal discomfort, cramping and diarrhoea are side effects of gabapentin.
You can either try and change brand of gabapentin or take cost effective brands of pregabalin ( substitute for lyrica).
Some drugs like Maxgalin, rejusite or maxmala can be taken as substitute of pregabalin.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
