neurontin

Avatar n tn If you use Aleve be careful if you are on Neurontin because is a small amount of cases Aleve will interact with Neurontin and cause a 12 - 15% increase in the absorption of the Neurontin (I know this from first hand experience).
Avatar f tn I have been to urgent care and returned to the dentist. She performed an xray and said the tooth is fine. I was first given Valium and Aleve for relief. The relief from this treatment last about 1 hour and the severe pain returned. I was then put on flexoril which takes the "edge" off for a couple of hours. I have switched to ibuprofen which has provided more relief than the Aleve. The dentist says that I have muscle spasms in my jaw and this should go away.
675329 tn?1297288378 t think there would be a problem but I am not a dr. I also take neurontin and had to stop it cause of the swelling and weight gain. I put on 25lbs in the last 5 months from that stuff so I won't take it ever again.
7530804 tn?1398546771 I havent taken any medication while pregnant but woke up feeling like I had been run over. I googled a bit and decided to take an Aleve about a hour ago. I feel fine and my baby boy is moving like crazy, I just wanted to know if anyone else has taken Aleve while pregnant? Or have been told anything by their Dr? Thank you!
Avatar n tn I ate 4 pills of Aleve, and had my period right now. Can I try to get pregnant in the following ovaluation period? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Very inspirational!! Well done, and I totally agree with you. Hot showers, Aleve and heating pad will do the trick! Who knew, right?
Avatar f tn Had a mri and it said i had moderate bulge at my L1/L2 and have had months of therapy and also have had epideral injection. And I am still have a lot of pain. Which dont think that i should be I dont know what else there is to do wanna go to a surgen for a second opinon but dont know if i should or not.
1029507 tn?1287714315 I was on Neurontin and then Lyrica for nerve pain while undiagnosed. I've taken NSAIDs (both OTC and Rx) which at best take the edge off of my joint pain. I haven't had pain that is both bad and persistent enough to make me consider other options. While I've had periods of more intense pain, they have thankfully been relatively brief. My best (untrained lay-person!) advice is to be open with your doc about the type and severity of pain so that they can do their best to help.
Avatar f tn They make him dizzy and nauseous, even Aleve, etc. Called him again and told him we were very frightened of these shocks and his regressing in his post op so he prescribed Gabapentin. I saw the post by femmy and would love some input as to the effectiveness of this drug. He started to take it yesterday, 1=300 first day, 2=300 second day, 3=3rd day and continue with 3 daily. He hasn't had any negative reactions from it so far.
Avatar n tn I started off on prescribed meds for a back injury 40-60 at first then 60-100mg the past year. I also take Neurontin for severe leg cramps which I have still taken a few to try to aleve the pain to no real avail. Going to the bathroom,then hot,cold , and just all over aches and pains with NO sleep!!!Help! My head is very depressed and I can't function very well.
Avatar n tn I find that a few potassium supplement pills and a couple of aleve do the trick for me. I have the same problem.
1415174 tn?1453243103 It is like an aura or wavy moving lines that last about a half hour and are in each eye. Has anyone had this from Neurontin (or Celebrex). I am tapering off of Neurontin for that reason and would like your opinion as to how to get off of it will less side effects. I am at 500mg now per day. I am now trying 100mg per week as I get ill feeling, insomnia and anxiety. What do you all normally do?
1943759 tn?1324045251 But flexeril does get better after a few weeks but then the pain relieving/muscle relaxing part of it goes away and it becomes a sleep aid. As for Neurontin I took that too and it makes you very sleepy at first too and dopy in the sense that you can think too clearly. The rest of what I said above is the same. I'm not sure if Lyrica makes you tired too but it has other side effects as well. I don't know whether to take it or not either.
1099361 tn?1258662257 I take neurontin ( by rx ), ibuprofen 800, and acetaminophen. I keep forgetting to get some aleve. I hear from a lot of people that it works wonders.
Avatar f tn Get OTC meds for the flu like theraflu, aleve, dayquil and immodium take hot baths drink water and go to an NA meeting for moral support. Be careful as tramadol has some bad wd symptoms like seizures so taper slowly. You can do it also buy a heated matress pad for you bed it works wonders at night.
Avatar f tn My neuro is ridiculously conservative. I had left side pain and muscle spasms so bad that I basically didn't sleep for a year. She prescribed flexeril and Naproxen (prescription strength Aleve). She might as well have given me tic-tacs. I got a little relief but not really. She finally tried me on Baclofen, but I couldn't handle it. I am not on flexeril and neurontin and it has mad a difference.
Avatar f tn My psychiatrist is thinking about it for my anxiety, since nothing is working since a terrible and weird and untreated Paxil withdrawal four years ago. And to the poster, she says it's okay to take with klonopin, if that's any help, since I'm on klonopin and asked her about that.
Avatar m tn Gabapentin) or Lyrica (generic: NA) and Cymbalta (generic: NA) are good medications to try to help with this pain. Opioid medications may still be helpful to you but their effectiveness on nerve pain is limited; however, they may provide some additional meaningful relief due to synergistic effects. A muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory are helpful too.
Avatar f tn Tylenol that has no aspirin
772216 tn?1259273237 ve also been on tylenol, ibuprofen, aleve, neurontin, vicodin, darvocet, percocet hydrocodone and tramadol none of which take the pain away anymore. It has progressively gotten worse. I eat a lot healthier than I used to and have cut sodas down to maybe 1-2 a week from the normal 4-6 a day. I will limit the sugar and salt but I don't think there is a way to completely take them out.
1221035 tn?1301000508 I am taking a strong dosage of neurontin and I have the same effects as described. I can sit for up to 5-7 minutes before a flow begins. Not sure if it is the neurontin or a pain medication. I have nerve damage and need both medications.
Avatar f tn Yes I became parinoid and and anxious I got off it immediatley and switched to kolonipin which works well for me
Avatar m tn That is what I call Tweeks, you get tweeked and more pain for about three days to a week. I was on Neurontin and actually have myofascial pain but they thought it may have been a nerve at first. The neurontin didn't do a thing for me. I was on 1200mg/day and it took me two months to get off of it because I got insomnia and had to take benedryl to get off of it and be able to sleep. It is low on side effects except feeling tired and dumb.
630344 tn?1280104983 I'm taking the generic form, just recently resumed but have used it in the past. Neurontin is Rx-ed for nerve pain as an "off label" use, that it, treating nerve pain is not the function for which it was designed so it's not listed as a use on the manufacturer's label. It is actually an anti-seizure med, but it was found to also reduce neuropathy in patients. It is my understanding that Lyrica works much in the same way, and is a newer medication by the same company.
1207048 tn?1282174304 The problem many people have with Neurontin and meds like it is they start at two high a dose and increase too fast. That maximizes the sides effects and they stop it, when it might have worked wonders. Then it goes on their *bleep* list. Neurontin is not used for sleep unless the problem with sleep is with neuroapthic pain or paresthesias. We had a pain management doc visit us a while back and he wrote a couple Health Pages for us. You might be interested in both.
9704730 tn?1405741284 Hello I have a question about neurontin. I recently stopped taking tramadol after 13 years. I had a very difficult time doing so. I stopped Dec 6. My doctor put me on neurontin but I think I am now having withdrawal symptoms from neurontin. I have been taking about 900 mg a day since September. It gives me a lot of side effects such as drowsiness and the inability to think quickly.
Avatar f tn I have been on Neurontin (Gabapentin) for 7 years and recently the pressure in my eyes is high and it's possible the drug has caused this. My pupils react slowly to changes in light and my left one is always bigger than the right. I have extremely bad neuropathic pain all over my body and I have tried many other drugs but none work that well and I am not sure what happens next.
