gabapentin and vitamin d

My doctor has me on an anti-seizure medication rather than an anti-depressant. The way it was described to me is that if you have more manic episodes (like myself), an anti-seizure med helps. If you are more depressed than manic, an anti-depressant helps.

My doctor just recently ran a new blood pannel and found that I have a vitamin D defficancy (sorry if that's spelled wrong). I'm now on vitamin D once a week to make up for what's missing. I wondering if there's anything specific that causes this? Medications, medical problems, anything? I'm on gabapentin (nerve pain), amitriptyline (low dose for GI pains), and provera (for PCOS), along with some OTC stuff.

Hi Dr. Smita, Thank you for your response! Actually, I had all my blood test checked (calcium, magnesium, TSH,...etc) Everything came out normal except vitamin d is low. Could it be vitamin d deficiency and calcium still can be normal? I don't understand. My doctor prescribed me 50,000 IU vit. d once a week x 12 weeks and I'm taking Gapapentin 300mg at night from my neurologist for sleep. What he told me my twitching is benign and don't worry about it!

Lie in the sun and absorb as much vitamin D as possible, if you know what I mean

My rhuematologist prescribed me Neurontin 100mg, Vitamin D 5000 units and Tremedol Hcl 37.5 mg-325 acetinophen. I took neurontin on thursday. Friday i took Tremedol. Six hours later I took my vitamin D. The next day I took 2 tremedol pills. ON sunday I took one. I stopped on MOnday because i wasn't feel right. I had three panic attacks this week. I went to the ER and was given Xanax. it helped with my anxiety but not my heart. I'm 19 years old-no drug history.

okay so for about 5 years i have being experiencing tingling numbness burning itching all over my body mostly in my hands, arms, legs, feet. i was only 15 when this started happening so i really couldn't do anything about it so i figured if is wasn't causing me any harm just deal with it. i don't know how it started but i know 5 years ago i had a man to man sexual encounter unprotected. recently i got checked for hiv stds and i was negative for everything.

Sometimes changing the drug you are taking gives better pain control. Also take vitamin B and vitamin D supplement for a short time. Also, physiotherapy should be tried. Nerve blocks, epidurals and spinal cord stimulators may help (but can be costly). Take care!

Separately, due to a Vitamin D deficiency my doc found, he put me on 50,000 units Vitamin D per week for 8 weeks, followed by biweekly doses. And guess what...the Vitamin D almost instantly "cured" the BPH. I've seen that Vitamin D can affect the growth of prostate cells over the long term, but this worked as quickly (and about as well) as Flomax. (FYI: I'm diabetic and overweight, taking metformin, Byetta, lisinopril, HCTZ, gabapentin, lovastatin and Lantus).

You need to also get serum calcium, vitamin D and parathyroid gland function assessed. Sometimes problems in calcium, phosphate and vitamin D can cause joint and bone pain and jolting pain.

I also have a little arthritis and slight scoliosis in my lower back, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalja, osteopenia and vitamin d deficiency (which should be okay just ended a 12 week of vitamin D pills that I took once a week. Someone suggested that I drink Gatorade which I did and last night wasn't so bad I was able to get a good amount of sleep.

I was diagnosed with benign tonsillar ectopia, fibromyalgia, vitamin d deficiency, and hypoglycemia in June after changing doctors. I was prescribed vitamin d 5000 units and Gabapentin 300mg Capsules. Pain has reduced but numbness and disorientation still there. My hands also go completely numb periodically. Had an eye exam and further testing on my vision. Nothing explained the double vision. All tests to include spinal tap and EMG show normal.

You might try making sure your Vitamin D and magnesium levels are good and might try adding more even if they are -- they can also affect nerve function. If you up your intake of B12 and folate, you might find the B6 goes down more quickly, as they are in balance in the body and too much of any one of them can lower the body's absorption of the others.

5. Vitamin D levels. Treating vitamin D deficiency may help reduce the recurrence rate of vertigo, according to study.

We had basically the same break.(I had a few added bonuses ha)I had the very same color change which the Drs. quickly decided was RSD-tried me on Gabapentin&vitamin C.-I stopped taking the Gabapentin after 2 months (as it wasn't doing any thing-but have continued to take vit. C. Slowly butsurely the color has gotten better.That's not to say it is always good,but it has much improved.The "needles &pins" could be a variety of things.

t have jaundice thankfully and bilirubin is high normal. I started B12 and Vitamin D and burning has subsided. Thank you for replying. And thank you Hector for your detailed and thoughtful response.

The mechanism by which Gabapentin exerts its anticonvulsant action is unknown, but in animal test systems designed to detect anticonvulsant activity, Gabapentin prevents seizures as do other marketed anticonvulsants. Gabapentin exhibits antiseizure activity in mice and rats in both the maximal electroshock and pentylenetetrazole seizure models and other preclinical models (e.g., strains with genetic epilepsy, etc.). The relevance of these models to human epilepsy is not known.

I've noticed quite a few people seem to share my symptoms of generalized anxiety and elevated heart rate and blood pressure. During times when I do not feel good, I can become labile and have a resting heart rate of around 100 to 120. I've bounced back and forth between cardiologists and psychiatrists, and unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a very well understood issue. This seems to be seasonal. During the summer months, I'm perfectly fine.
