I'm 23 with a dancing history and a back injury. A month ago my neck spasmed and hasn't recovered. A couple weeks ago my right hand started going numb, but it wasn't tingly as if it had fallen asleep. I was put on gabapentin for the pain and numbness at a walk in clinic. I saw my doctor within the next couple days and she put me on prednisone. I'd never been on either of these before. The numbness started to appear in both hands, radiating from my palm to my pinky, and both feet. I just finish

Hello, My doctor has prescribed up to 140mg fast release morphine 20mg every 3-6 hours per 24hours for breakthrough pain and 60mg of slow release morphine twice in 24 hours. Total 200mg/24hrs.

It's for Ischemic leg pain, cellulitis, and a busted knee,spine,hip, and lots more sideshow attractions on the carnival of pain.

I need to take Klonopin 1mg, twice a day for anxiety. At first it is sedating, but then I get restless/agitated//tossing/turning etc...BUT- when I take Clonidine 100mcg, three times a day, the problem goes away. I have 2 drugs here that have been approved for restless legs syndrome and they are "Requip" and "Gabapentin". My question: Should I go back to taking Clonidine 3 times a day, or experiment with Requip or Gabapentin? My Doc has gone on Holiday to South America, and I don't want to go s

my son is on several medications such as coreg, gabapentin, xanax xr , pexeva, lorazapem, and serequel. All of these medications are used to crub anxiety-panic attacks which are under control and they are slowly being reduced.

Will any of these drugs hamper him from getting into the rotc and later the military. Plus if they are removed are there amounts of time before h

I'm on lithium and gabapentin and have been on those for a few months with no problem. However, I recently started treatment with thorazine and I have a headache in the back of my head right at my brain stem where the star used to be (long story).

I am a 34 year old female who is on day 7 of shingles on the left side of the forehead and scalp. I have 2 on my forehead, 1 in the outside corner of the left eye, and about 10 in my scalp. Thankfully most of them are in my scalp and not on my face. I was put on famcicovir 500mg three times a day and gabapentin 300mg three times daily. Then for the eye I had to see an opthamalogist and was given erythromycin ointment. I have to hard lumps just off of my left ear which I assume are glands tha

I have been suffering from a very painful back after a car hit the back of ours 6 months ago. I have had physiotherapy and I am attending an osteopath,as well as taking brufen, remediene and gabapentin. They don't seem to be helping much, so I went to the acute pain clinic where after consultation and examination the doctor offered me injections into my spine under local aanaestheticand I would not be able to drive for the day.

I am a 34 year old female and ended up with shingle a couple days ago. They are on the left side of the forehead, scalp, and 1 is in the corner of my eye so far.

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine in IRAN had started feeling pain in his knees and eventually grew all over his body. The pain would usually start in the fingertip of the foot and the hand and move down toward the center of the body in a form of a shock. At first, it started out with minimum pain and not very frequent but when it occurred the body felt cold and numb afterward. The test results for the muscle showed that the muscles were getting weaker. A doctor suggested that the blood pl

I have been taking between 8 and 10 paracetamol a day for over 2 years is this dangerous? i also take 1800mg of gabapentin a day.

I left the first field of work because of downsizing and so I went to another field of interest. This involved more school and programs. Mid way through the program I found myself not being able to sleep the night before two exams and other important nights before projects and big exams. It was then I realized.....I should go talk to a psychiatrist about this sleeping and anxiety. That was in 2008. It has been several years now in which I got through the schooling but the anxiety is there.

I've started using this medication and have noticed my breasts are sore. I was reading up on this medication and it stated Gabapentin is found in breast milk. Has anyone else ever experienced this or heard of this?

I'm currently on a cocktail of meds that leaves me extremely tired and lethargic, and it's not just annoying, it's a problem. When I go back to school in 2 weeks I need to be more functional than I am now. I think the main thing is that I find most of my drugs to be sedating and have a hard time waking up/staying awake. I take: Lexapro - neutral (not particularly sedating or activating) Depakote - neutral Gabapentin - sedating Geodon - sedating Seroquel - sedating The worst for me is the

Short description, I have neuropathy in my Right foot part of the leg, and I can't feel touching, but I can feel burning pains when I get an ulser. Long description, Basically, I had spinal surgery in 2010 on my Back to remove a tumor that had been there from birth, I just didn't know until 2010 came, and to untether my spinal cord. Because of this surgery, I was left with no feeling

Recently I found out a someone close to me is taking this white pill with the inscription IP 101 on it, I was able to go online and find out that it is Gabapentin and I found out some basic uses for it. What I really want to know is, is it possible that me may be taking that drug for recreational uses?

About 7 months ago I overdosed on 1,400mg verapamil, 1,200mg propranolol, 6,000mg paracetamol, 2,200mg gabapentin and 50mg codeine. I am aware of how so lucky I am to be here as I suffered an MI And AV Nodal block. Howeve I am wondering what the rough percentage of live vs death would have been for my overdose. I weigh 101kg also. Thankyou Joseph

I've been prescribed gabapentin for an apparent nerve pinch or something similar, which is causing pain in one shoulder and then radiating down the back of the arm. They think it's not in the spine, but fairly near it, probably something muscular which is binding and tugging on the nerve. The gabapentin seems to help with the pain, but it is messing with my head; I'm slightly manic/depressive to begin with, and I don't like the feelings of emotional paralysis, nor trust the heightened euphor

Generally speaking, any type of experience whether good or bad?? thx

I have an Italian Greyhound mix with severe epilepsy. She's been on gabapentin to help control it, as well as to control her arthritis pain. Recently she's started having more GI problems and my vet suspects it's because she's become sensitive to something in the compound that we've been getting it made into. He wants me to use just the pure tablets and wrote me a prescription for 100 mg tablets, but I'm having a horrible time finding a pharmacy that can even order them in. I've gotten them

I have a very disheartening situation with Mindy, my German Shepherd Dog, just 3 years, 4 months young. It has been six days now and she still can't bear weight on her one elbow due to what I have unfortunately learned was an arthritic trigger event. X-rays show moderate arthritis in one elbow and severe in the other. Apparently she had been favoring one leg and injured the other while jostling with my brothers white German Shepherd at Thanksgiving. I am preparing to drive up to the Vet a

My wife has had back pain from about the last 5 years. It is mostly in her right shoulderblade area and mid to lower back. its bad enough that it brings her to tears if i rub her back with any kind of preassure. So she had x-rays done about 6 months ago and the Dr. told us she had some nerves that were traveling through her shoulder socket that were possibly getting rubbed occasionally wich would cause her ARM and HAND to hurt. so we told the Dr. that we never said anything about hand and arm

I've had chronic knee pains since I was in the seventh grade, I am now a senior in high school and still experiencing an even worsening pain. My new doctor(the fifth one so far) has decided that he wants to put me on this medication to help to calm my nerves down. I've never been one to take medication, but the pain has been getting the best of me. However, my father has had problems with addiction to the medication he takes. I was wondering if I should take caution with this medication. Can i
