I am allergic to Aspirin, Morphine, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Tramadol and Ibuprofen. After my last back surgery they put me on Gabapentin several times a day. Now I just take it at night to help take the edge off so I can sleep. Now I have to have a shoulder replacement in 2 weeks and they want me to see a pain management specialist because they don't know what to give me when I come home. I told them to just up the Gabapentin to several times a day. But they don't want to do that.
Antidepressants can also help and can be used in conjunction with gabapentin (or other epileptic drugs) Ask your doctor.
Physiotherapy can also help free trapped nerves depending on where and how thay are trapped and of course anti-inflamitaries (ibuprofen) if the pinch is due to inflamation at all. Totally agree with helpforsherry, surgery is the last option.
I was put on Gabapentin and ibuprofen but was NEVER told this was the assessment. Been in chronic pain for 5 years now, after a hysterectomy. What is the best treatment. Am on 2400mg Gabapentin and 60mg of Cymbalta, but don't really want to have to take this for life.
I am 31 and have been diagnosed with RSD/CRPS and it is very painful and it all started with a football injury in High School.

I am currently on 40mg Oxycontin 3times a day and Oxycodone imm realease 30mg 3 times a day, Baclofen 10mg 4 times a day, tramadol 50mg 6 a day, Vitamins of all kinds, testosterone injection once a week, Naproxen 3times a day, Trazadone 150mg at bedtime.
Had a TURP four years ago and urologist say prostate has not enlarged again but this is driving me to distraction. Have been given, prednisone, cipro, gabapentin, ibuprofen, pyridium. Nothing is working; well, it works for a little while but then it's like taking nothing. Feels like if I could ejaculate it would ease it but can't seem to do that. Now, however, the burning pain has moved down to the perineum.
I take Gabapentin. Its non narcotic and doesnt give you a high. It works by blocking nreve pain. It is needed to be taken everyday as it only works if there is a constant steady amount in your system. I have been pain free most day. Stress and overdoing it will cause a flair up, but most of the time I am functioning 100% better.
ive been diagonosed with lymes and have had the line in my arm and been on tablets for five months and no improvement on the max amount of gabapentin now and nothing,the pain in my hips are getting worse and my knees are suffering aswell.
Dr. prescribed 300 mg Gabapentin along with Vicodin and ibuprofen 800mg for pain.Is this going to get better,stay same,progress? I looked at a Dr.Timothy Helm's Low Level Laser Therapy,do you have an opinion?Any info or answers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks. I don't work and my husband was unemployed for 2 yrs. and we went thru our 401k and maxed credit cards. Now that he has a job we probably won't qualify, but I will definitely check out this possibility. I feel guilty considering we now have an income, but on the edge of bankruptcy... Who isn't now? Thanks for the info!
Does anyone know of any treatment other than steroids for retrobulbar optic neuritis? Steroids work in reverse for me and have been tried a few times over the last 20 years of having MS. This round doesn't impact my vision, but causes pain behind my right eye on any movement and pain in my left upper eyelid upon touch.
I take 120 mg of Cymbalta, 3200 mg of gabapentin and 90 mg of oxycodone a day. it is not enough, what can I take over the counter that could help in addition.
gave me lyrica samples and it was like a wonder drug. the pain was minimal and my afternoon exhaustion was gone. i went to fill the prescription and the insurance denied coverage and said it was "experimental". now, my dr. was not 100% certain that it was fibro. he said that i had a lot of sensory issues that made him under sure. i think that is why the insurance denied coverage. soooo, he tried me on gapapinten. i have been taking it for 5 weeks now and i think it is worthless.
It began yesterday - this incredibly painful throbbing feeling - like electric shock, in the middle of the back of my left thigh. They last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. It hurts to the point it I feel sick to my stomach. It's always in the same spot - and it's very rhythmic. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I have a very high pain threshold and this is probably an 8 on the pain scale while it's happening.
t doing anything for me and so I began to taper off gabapentin and experienced a god awful withdrawal, my Doctor had no advise as to how to properly taper and so I did on line research and found your post and a couple of other posts suggesting that I might have a magnesium defieciency and decided to check out some of the magnesium supplements available one of them was (ionic-fizz Magnesium plus) I was stuck at 1200 mg. gabapentin and couldn't seem to taper down any farther.
Almost forgot.....I also told the dr that i can't blow my nose and I still don't sleep well at night. He switched me from Gabapentin to Lyrica at 50mg per dose....take 1 at night before bed, 1 in the morning...building up to 3 times a day.
I began taking Gabapentin for the electricity and muscle spasms in my legs. My initial dose was 100 mg at bedtime. Now, I am up to 100 mg 3 times daily. It has helped greatly, but recently I have been having some break-through spasms.
I do not recall having had any "vibrations" from the medication itself.
He is currently taking 3 gabapentin 100mg at bedtime and ibuprofen 800mg 2-3 times a day. A couple of months ago is when he started to take the gabapentin and it did seem to start working little by little they faded till he actually went 5 days with no headache untill the neurologist told him to take indomethacin 25 mg 3 times a day them boom the headaches came back worse. He did stop the ibuprofens when taking this.
I have taken gabapentin and xanax for 10+ years without problems. Xanax is a shorter acting benzodiazapine then librium. You may find you need less librium with gabapentin.
Hi
I have a massive period ache , therefore I took 1100 mg of ibuprofen . At first I had taken 500 mg tablet but it's been an hour and a half and it did not help , so I took an other tablet of ibuprofen of 600 mg .
The pain is gone but I feel very tired , can I be harmed or die out of it ?
Should I ask for help ? Or has anybody been familiar with it ? Please help me , I am a hypochondriac person and I also have OCD and use Prozac .
whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
