  • 600mg 3x day plus meloxicam and I'm still in pain... Five herniated discs, hypercalcimia, irreversible nerve damage, bone spurs, arthritis and I'm only 42...please send prayers

    My husband was prescribed Gabapentin when he developed Guillian Barre Syndrome. He was paralyzed below the neck for a year. He was one of the 20-30% left with permanent nerve damage so he still takes Gabapentin. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1989. Lyrica didn't help at all but Gabapentin does. We have no side effects.

    I take 1800mg of Gabapentin a day, and it’s a God sent. Without it, I would never be able to get out of bed. I have bulging disc in the lower back, and severe arthritis in my spine. With that medication, and other meds that I take for my heart I’m able to have somewhat a quality of life.

    Ok, I had to comment...I've seen so much crap on here from doctors, pharmacists, etc..You are one of the first who are completely honest, and totally correct about this medication, in which I can comment on because I've been on it for quite a few years now along with other medications you have mentioned..Its good to see the right information given out for once..everyone should always discuss their medication interactions with their provider and see videos like this so if you brought up something a patient isnt aware of or questions they can discuss it with their doctor on the next visit! You speak calmly and are clear on what you say, instead of dancing around an issue...thanx for this!
  • Ty for sharing your videos with us ALL. Very informative. HUGS and GOD bless us ALL 👍
  • They always want to give this for opiod withdrawl but no one would explain why. This video gave me more info ib a few mins than dozens of dr's over many years.
  • Very detailed, thanks for this! I picked up a prescription today for nerve pain in my lower back, left IT band and left waist line area over to the groin. I sure hope this shaves the edge off the pain I've been having!
  • 200 mg before bedtime to stop the buzzing in my leg after botched back surgery. I sleep better with no side effect.
  • @joemcdonald7798
    Thankyou so much for your very helpful post...you answered more questions than my doctor and pharmacist combined
  • I have CMT (same thing Alan Jackson has). It causes severe neuropathy in my feet, especially when I go to bed at night and put my feet up. I take two 300 mg Gabapentin before bedtime and have no pain or trouble sleeping. I have been taking it for several years and have had no problems or side effects.

    I did a very heavy lifting job for 40 years, and the last 5 year of it I began to experience occasional numbness in my left hand, found myself dropping things without even knowing, had about 4 short bouts of Vertigo, eyes were jerking left and right, like my brain was doing cartwheels, pain and swelling in my back and Shoulder, and these things slowly crept up on me till I retired at 55, the pain in by back and shoulder got worse, so bad it would wake me up at night, thought maybe I had pulled muscles or torn tendons at work, my left tricep, fore arm back of hand and thumb felt like they were on fire, went to the Doc, she notice my back and shoulder were swelled way out, got X-rays that showed I had Arthritis in my neck, which was putting pressure on my spinal chord, she prescribed Gabapentin, 300mg three times a day and on the second day all the symptoms were gone, been on the drug now for 9 years without experiencing any of these crippling symptoms, have slight dizziness now and again but otherwise living a painless active life :)

    Originally I took 300mg three times a day for chemotherapy related neuropathy crippling my hands and feet. Over time and with a lot of physical therapy I regained my walking but still have numbness inhibiting my hands. I have reduced my dose to twice a day, looking forward to ending this medication. I am in remission from lymphoma.
  • Thank you for a clear and concise explanation. I just started taking gabapentin and want to be aware of it's properties and drug interactions.
  • I was on Gabapentin & the side effects were worse than what I was taking it for. Needless to say, I’m never taking Gabapentin again!
  • I used to take Gabbapenton for anxiety I slowly weaned myself off of it & I’m fine today.
