Neurontin and dopamine
Common Questions and Answers about Neurontin and dopamine
neurontin
I have facial neuralgia and nerve pain consistent with post herpetic neuralgia and I also had piercing neck and shoulder pain, the neurontin helped all of this and the Lyrica did nothing for it, especially the facial neuralgia. Plus the Lyrica made me gain weight. These doctors push the new meds all the time and the old ones works just fine, sometimes better.
I must caution you that there is no miracle pill that will put you back to normal.
alll in all///narctoics r not the DOC for rls..
Chunk there is hardly anyone on line right now here, so you might have to wait. I don't have a lot of knowledge about Neurontin, the rest of the meds sound pretty intense to be taking all at the same time imo, but I am not really qualified to answer fully. these are all prescribed by the same doctor? if not, is there one doctor who knows your complete medical history?
If you're low on glycine and taurine, which help the body make the neurotransmitters you're low on, you need to check the quality of the protein you're eating. Glycine and taurine are amino acids, and along with tyrosine and phenalynine and tryptophan manufacture the neurotransmitters that regulate mood. I would look to your diet and make sure you're eating sufficient protein.
Something interesting happened recently that both illustrates this and makes me think dopamine may have something to do with it.
First, let me make it clear that I am not a druggie. I've never taken an illegal, recreational drug in my life, not even pot (and I was in high school in the 1980s!) On a couple of occasions, however, I have taken peyote with Native Americans. The reasons for that are another story. The peyote church I attended was in Arizona, several hundred miles from my home.
wds will not be fun but in a few days you will be getting better. Your brain has to retrain itself how to produce Dopamine and Serotonin and in the mean time you may feel some temporary depression, may want to cry for no reason, stomach cramps, cold sweats, loss of sleep, nightmares are a few of the wds you may experience. A couple days will make a difference and every day will be better. Try to eat and drink fluids. Warn baths/showers will help too. You can do this. I'm pulling for you.
if you're getting low in dopamine, a lot of folks try using the precursor nutrients, such as tyrosine, or phenylalanine DL. It's found in chicken, eggs, milk and cottage cheese.
Tyrosine converts into leva dopa, and you could try mucuna pruriens for that, but dosage is sketchy on each brand.
L-dopa is the last stop on the train before dopamine, cuz from what I understand, you can't "take dopamine". You give your body the nutrient and it has to make the stuff.
Why do u target dopamine? just curious..choline is a supp for dopamine shortages in the system...
The treatment of this condition may involve a medication to increase your dopamine levels or may be treated with neurontin, which is also used to treat neuropathic pain as mentioned above.
It is difficult to provide much more information without the ability to get more history. I would suggest you discuss with your primary care physician. You may or may not need to see a specialist for this.
Thank you for using the forum, I hope you find this information useful, good luck.
course running is a more acceptable behavior than using to get a rush of endorphins
Compression ( ace wraps or compression hose) , massage, hot baths, muscle relaxers, neurontin or lyrica, exercise, supps, and also some OTC and RX drugs can help the annoyance of RLS..but it will pass..thing is most relapse before the pain of this endorphin shortage passes due to the depression etc...making aftercare crucial for many to make it thru this tough time of brain healing..
I am constantly tierd, gaining weight, have constant muscle pain, especially in my feet and legs. I still suffer from mood swings, the ups and downs. I am not sure if this is normal or if I should try maybe seroquel or go back on the zyprexa. My psychiatrist INSISTS I need the zyprexa, but i am not confident of our relationship and I feel he is just saying that to get me out of his office. Any advice?
So before to take PDE5 inhibitors i thinked it would not work properly because it helps to keep the erection and my problem begins to have an erection,and what happened when i took that?It didn't work as i thinked before.
So,i read researches on this area that says the dopamine agonists have been working well for those young people that the treatment with PDE5 inhibitors and psychological therapy has not worked.
I have been undergoing medictaion for dopamine disorder. I am taking Qutan 50mg, Lamez 100 mg and Parkin 2 mg and also underfoing Homeopathic treatment. I am undergoing memory loss, low energy levels, poor concentration and becoming emotional for no reason. May i know the various causes of dopamine disorder and what are all the food supplements i can have for the same?
I appreciate the info on this and know what I have to do if I give in again. When I feel like using I'll just ask my wife to smack me in the nose and break it so I can get a dopamine dump and if it goes away just break a few fingers here and there who needs em anyway I can type with a pen.
t concentrate and feel generally jumpy and unbalanced. i am getting concerned about the effects of low dopamine on my personality. i have a feeling there are more effects, perhaps irritablity, etc. i want to know how to balance myself naturally and not take pharmaceuticals. i think it has a adrenal insufficiency component also.
any information or experience is very welcome.
I was given a sleeping tablet prior to surgery and didn't fall asleep. I also remember taking a LOT of pain killers for the immense pain caused by a tooth abscess and it took 4 hours to take affect. I didn't really think anything of it until I read your comment. Hmmm. I find magnesium is good to help me sleep. Just to add I no longer get cold/flu/bronchitis/strep throat...etc etc since taking vitamin D. It's not called the antibiotic vitamin for nothing!
