335728 tn?1331414412 Well, I think I can shed a little light on this, but only a little. I'm just going to talk about the two meds in light of their dosing, their side effects and how it might be viewed in you. I agree with you that your daily pattern of increasing symptoms sounds more like a drug effect than an exacerbation of MS. The first thing that comes to mind is that the Paratrigeminal Neuralgia "developed" while you were already on the Tegretol.
Avatar m tn Can hemorrhoids kill you? I have one and it's causing me to bleed a lot from my rectum. But it stops after a few minutes. But every time I take a dump it makes it bleed again!

Avatar f tn Can u eat deli meats from the store In the deli if you pregnant just curious?
Avatar n tn Yes, they just want you to heat it up first to kill any Bacteria that might be on it. For instance, I now get my subs toasted at subway.
1298588 tn?1330318981 but to do that you have to realize they are not going to kill you and are no way life threatening. If you can manage that, you take away their teeth and they quit being the life controlling monster that they were. I could have written your post myself some years ago. I let panic and OCD just about take over my life. Do not do that, get help now. A good therapist can help you so much. And you really could benefit by taking some meds for your anxiety. I am scared to death of new meds.
Avatar m tn trigger it or stimulate it on accident without going out of your way to rub it can it kill you? Like what if you have an itch on your neck right on the nerve and you rub it for a few seconds? Is it actually easy to danger yourself from this maneuver? Iv had a cardiology workup with tons of tests and apparently everything's fine.
Avatar m tn You didn't mention the age, but given what you said, and that you used the term 'girl' rather than woman, I'm assuming we are talking college age? I did some searching for you, and found a very helpful link about college drinking and alcohol poisoning: http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/OtherAlcoholInformation/factsAboutAlcoholPoisoning.aspx Pay special attention to the symptoms.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome! If you have been taking this for a month then yes you can easily get addicted to this so if you can stop while you are ahead your WD's will not be as bad. You will still have some wd's because of the toxins that the pills carry but they should be very manageable with such a short time you have been on them. Good luck and stop while you can! The WD.'s I had were horrific and I hope to not ever go through them again!
9704730 tn?1405741284 Hey Robin, good to see you're doing well. I'll tell ya, that Neurontin can really bite you when you least expect it. That's one pill you really need to check the side effects. I've had troubles from day one since starting on it. Please don't ask me why I still take it. I'm glad it helps you though. Actually I guess you're taking it for the very reason that it's made. For whatever reason both my Psychiatrist and my new PCP insist I take it.
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.
1310035 tn?1305621642 Neurontin (brand name for gabapentin) helps with nerve pain. It is very commonly used in MS. Another med for this purpose is Lyrica. If one doesn't work or the side efffects are too much, then the other can be tried, but the two are very similar. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My OB/GYN allowed me to take neurontin during pregnancy, but Lyrica has a higher chance of birth defects. The sight I gave you can give you more information. I just find that neurontin has basically no side effect and Lyrica does. I took Lyrica and the next day I was 10 times worse off due to pain and fatigue. But you have to decide for yourself whether this is the right drug for you.
Avatar f tn Neurontin was compared with lorazepam in a recent double blind trial for alcohol withdrawal. They found that withdrawal symptoms were significantly lower with high-dose gabapentin (1200 mg/day) than with lorazepam during treatment and follow-up assessments. Compared with lorazepam, gabapentin was associated with significantly lower probability of drinking after day 1 and less daytime sedation (high-dose only), anxiety, and craving during the medication phase.
Avatar n tn I am not sure why she would abuse it, but it does give me a good feelings so maybe that is why she is doing it. If you take a large dose, you can get a very happy feeling.
Avatar m tn You know after the hard WDs the mental stuff sets in and this is a very critical time for you not to relapse. You will crave the drugs for months you have to be strong and keep busy. I'm all about using something during this time if it helps and you don't abuse just take as needed when you can't stand the feelings. Be careful you are very fragile right now and will be for a few months. I'm here if I can be of support.
Avatar f tn Pat, I realize you're not a dr. but can you tell me how much you took to get withdrawal relief? I have samples of both dosages. This is such exciting news to me! Wow, what if it really worked? I would be so happy. This process would be so much easier.
Avatar f tn s not a controlled substance. Neurontin can work great for sciatic pain so hopefully it helps you get some relief.
