neurontin

Avatar f tn Anyone have any side effects from starting neurontin or suggestions on how to adapt to using it. It's kicking my butt so far, so only taking it at night but a bit zoozy in the mornings. Am on 300mg, have titration orders but don't want to add any more at the present until I adjust to this night dose. anyone?
Avatar n tn How long after taking gabapentin will the side effects last. I have hair loss. I stopped taking gabapentin about four or five months ago.
Avatar f tn Hi, is anyone else taking Gabapentin for nerve pain and are experiencing side effects? Since being on it for a week now I’ve noticed pain in my abdomen, neck, maybe even a little in my groin area too. Has anyone else experienced these side effects?
2010625 tn?1329372056 I think it may be the medication I am on, Gabapentin, I am having other weird side effects too. Like it makes me feel like a drunk person for half the day. I am going to call my doctor on monday about it.
Avatar f tn I was on gabapentin after spinal injury, and decided that I was better off without it. The medication didn't do much for pain, but had the side effects you talked about, plus it caused confusion. I did not feel safe driving while under this medication. Everything is a risk/benefit situation, and I suggest you have a long talk with the prescribing physician if you experience problems.
Avatar f tn Hi Lalab , Armour thyroid when taken in correct dosage generally causes no side effects . However serious side effects do occur when the dosage is too high . Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism may occur which include – Heart palpitations , Tachycardia, Heart attack , chest pain , Heart failure , difficulty breathing , Hypertension , Insomnia , anxiety , muscle weakness and a lot of other symptoms . So first of all you need to get the dose of Armour Thyroid adjusted .
Avatar f tn What are the long term side effects of taking Gabapentin for long term pain control?
Avatar m tn Side effects of gabapentin can be short- or long-term, lasting for hours or for several weeks or longer. Some side effects of gabapentin can be fatal. Discuss with your doctor any and all side effects you experience after taking gabapentin." http://www.ehow.com/about_5453074_longterm-effects-gabapentin-usage.
Avatar n tn I have been prescribed Gabapentin and found the drug to have serious side effects. It significantly degrades intellectual ability, for one, affects judgement (adversely), and makes driving dangerous. It is also addictive. It also doesn't do much to relieve pain. Under certain circumstances it can precipitate seizures. Then it causes headaches. And difficulty breathing.. I just stopped it cold. I would never take it again.
Avatar m tn Trileptal is a newer drug than Tegretol (carbamazapine) and is supposed to have less side effects than Tegretol. You do have to have blood tests every three months because it can affect the sodium levels in your blood, which could lead to kidney problems. I went through 6 doctors before I found a Facial Pain Specialist at a large teaching hospital that actually helped me.
Avatar n tn However their side-effect profiles may differ somewhat. If you are finding that the side-effects with gabapentin are tolerable then it would probably be best to increase the dose under doctor's advice. There is a long way upwards that you may go with the dose before reaching the upper limit, as Jason80 points out. I've used Lyrica for several months now and I am finding it very hard to tolerate the side-effects, although it does a good job of reducing pain significantly.
Avatar n tn I had some side effects when we moved to 1800 mg per day, backed off to 1200, and now things seem pretty stabilized now. I'm not noticing any side effects, which is a very welcome change from Lexapro.
Avatar f tn And I’ve noticed that the lymph nodes in my neck and groin area have become a little tender since taking. Has anyone else experienced the same side effects while taking gabapentin? Thank...
Avatar f tn I also know (through googling many different medications) that each time you adjust the dosage, that your body can have side effects. The side effects should get better as your body adjusts, but if they don't, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it.
Avatar n tn s already a bit on the slow side, as it is with athletes. Despite my horrible anxiety, my heart rate is relatively slow because I meditate and exercise a lot. If you really want to work on the symptoms of anxiety attacks, a therapist who specializes in anxiety treatment will be able to teach you breathing exercises and relaxation exercises to help with this.
