neurontin

Avatar m tn Here's a short, interesting page I found for you: http://sccomm.uga.edu/recommendations/neurontin.html Whenever I've been prescribed a new medication, I always google it, using search terms like Neurontin experiences Neurontin problems Neurontin helped me Neurontin alternatives Then I sift through the results, and, almost always, I find that half the responses indicate it's a life-saver, a "wonder drug.
Avatar f tn I have been on medication for my back issues for almost 2 years, I take Norco 10/325 4 times a day and Neurontin 300 mgs 3 times a day. I am scared to death over this pregnancy at this time I am just about 13 and a half weeks and while the norco is a class 3, so is the neurontin but the neurontin has been known to cause pretty serious birth defects. It is not well known but there are studies out there, Neurontin is an anti seizure med.
1474625 tn?1371097079 Today I visited a new doctor for my pain I've been having from a herniated disc between my L5/S1. I just had surgery last month but my pre-surgery pain came back. I'm now taking hydrocodone (norco) 10mg along with gabapentin. I've never had any experience with this new drug and I have read a wide range of reviews for nerve pain.
16785591 tn?1451596681 since last Thursday I have been on 50 MCG and it is definitely not good. I did the preceding months on 62 which requires twice the monthly co-pay of $85. I have bragged here that I was proud of taking only two Norco a day. two days ago it was one at 10 PM and the second midmorning. But my six-year long string of pain at night when I am just lying there and not moving and not getting exercise is now back with a vengeance.
Avatar f tn ve never taken Lyrica but I have taken Neurontin and their similar and everybody has a problem with weight gain, its not just you. Tell that Doctor you need help, if he won't help you, find another one.
Avatar f tn I just want people struggling with the debilitating side effects of vicodin withdrawal know that they don't have to suffer. Ask your doctor for neurontin or gabbbapentin. I am a 3 year severe (20-30) norco addict and I decided to stop the maddness but was afraid of the muscle pain i've felt before. With neurontin I have none of those spasms cramps or depression and mood swings. It also gives me no "high" feeling at all so its not a temptation for abuse or addiction.
Avatar f tn Well had the two ESI injections on L5, no help at all. Doc increased the Norco to 8 per day and wants to try Neurontin with steady increases for the next 3 weeks. Will go back in 3 weeks for visit and see how the Neurontin is working and then adjust from there.
Avatar f tn I do have bone spurs In my lumbar spine, but I was told they couldn't do anything further for me on that particular section of my spine. I've already had one surgery and they seem to think that doing anything else will do more harm than good. I just found out about the thoracic spine a couple of weeks ago along with the CM. I'm set to see a neurosurgeon on May 12th. Please keep me in mind and send some good vibes my way :).
491030 tn?1242424766 I would recommend that you either try to call your old doctor, or a new doctor and ask. With benzos and the Neurontin you run the risk of encountering problems with seizures, so some type of professional supervision would be in your best interest. And like Avis said - not everyone can taper, especially taper properly due to whatever elements are in a person's situation. You can also go online and look up the meds you are taking and possibly get better information regarding a taper. Drugs.

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.
391561 tn?1227047215 Thanks. I am taking neurontin and baclofen also. I am interested in what may also help.
1794671 tn?1338795391 My dr was not in agreeance, she throught I should stay on the morphine because of withdrawals but I convinced her that if they got to any point where I was uncomfortable I would take it but I was unable to persevere and just take my norco. Well, My pain got out of control and I was taking 12 norco a day, pretty much the MAX dose for tylenol and since I have been on it for 4 years I didnt suffer any hepatotoxicity.
Avatar f tn My OB says that it is ok to continue my Norco and Neurontin and she prescribes it to me. I have cut back from 4 Norco 10/325 a day to 1 Norco 5/325 a day. (Half in morning and half in evening)! Still have withdrawls... Night sweats... stomach hurts... and hurt something terrible... Does anyone have any personal knowledge of Opiate use and pregnancy? Does baby have withdrawls or any known birth defects? Neurontin use as well!
Avatar n tn At first I thought it was all in my head, but once i get the norco into my system i am able to function. Without the Norco in my system I am so stiff and in so much pain. I am ashamed of how many I take I do have a prescription, and my doctor monitors my liver functions often. I have tried Neurontin, but cannot take it and go to work. Neurontin makes me feel goofy. Norco makes me functional. Why is that?
Avatar f tn I do have some xanax, robaxin (muscle relaxer), and Neurontin that I have been taking, but I still feel like I weigh 500 llbs (I really weigh 110llb). I'm a single mom and I have an 8-year-old & 3-year-old daughter. I'm also taking classes online (well now really only attempting to b/c I can't freakin focus or concentrate. These chills & sweats are especially bad.
Avatar f tn I found out a little over a year ago that I had a tumor growing in my back. My PCP told me that nothing was wrong with me for almost 10 years. I had been in and out of imaging for the better part of 2 years. Every time I would go back for a follow up, the PCP told me either nothing was wrong, they had lost the imaging, or there was no record of me even doing the imaging.
5333788 tn?1366569346 I have since gone to 300mg at bedtime. I take norco 10/325 during the day. The depression has lifted and my pain is manageable. Hope this helps.
874521 tn?1424116797 My internist put me on norco 10/350 for the pain in my legs. The norco helped for a while, and then my tolerance took over. He then put me on oxy and that helped for a while. He now has me on Fentanyl patches and so far thy have been God sent. I hope that I was able to help in some way. Take care.
1243848 tn?1268460072 I have Fibro and after several years on Norco and Flexiril, and frankly, many other narcotics, I developed a topical treatment that works wonders for me. I'm completely off meds, working full time, going to school, and while my pain still exsists, it has become manageable. Anyhow...I know in VA you can't buy this stuff...but if you ever move to Cali...hit me up...I'd love to see if this oil works for you! www.therapyrubs.webs.com Take care...
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 26 yr old woman and have been diagnosed with IC for about 5 years now. Over the past year and a half I was taking Norco, then progressed to taking Norco & oxycontin. I was taking a lot each day bc I got addicted. I quit cold turkey 5 days ago & experienced terrible withdrawals. I decided I didn't want to feed my addiction anymore, so I wanted off the opiates. However, the opiates have seemed to be the only thing that has helped me manage my pain.
8496079 tn?1398412516 I was put on Gabapentin (generic for Neurontin) yesterday by my doctor for my Fibromyalgia Condition in addition to the Norco 7.5/325 I can take up to 4 pills day as needed for the massive pain I'm in.

1855076 tn?1337115303 Hi Mary, It is more likely that his insurance company will send a report to his primary as well as any other dr.'s that he has received narcotics from in a 24 month period. This info will also be passed to all the pharmacies he has used. It will not be immediate, but will come out in a few weeks. Hopes this helps.

Avatar f tn I was switched to etodolac and promethazine for migraine treatment. I also take soma and neurontin for preventative measures. Good luck with your treatments!!
Avatar m tn Hi, been reading this forum for awhile and feel for everyone's dilema. I have been taking pain meds for about three years. Have pain in my right side and down to my hip and leg. Was told I have intercostal neuralgia. Started taking darvoset and after two years sent to a pain management doc. He has me on musle relaxers, neurontin and Norco. I usually take 6 a day of norco even though i'm supposed to only take 4. They don't work very well anymore.
