Avatar n tn Consult the "Blueblook" or PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) for information on the manufacturer of any drug. It's available in most libraries. But don't be surprised if they have no conversation with you. There is little other information than that which is in the PDR that they could provide you with.

Avatar f tn When I first starting taking gabapentin the dose was 400mg each night. I was supposed to add a morning dose the second week and then an afternoon dose in the third week. I was getting relief with the 400mg bedtime dose alone but it made me so sleepy that I didn't dare take it during the day. My GP suggested I stick with the once daily dosing for a while. She told me that many of her patients never have to add daytime doses to get adequate pain control.

Locate the manufacturer from the PDR and request the druggest to order the medication.
Avatar n tn I do take two naproxen 220 mg along with one one 10 mg oxycodone IR tablet and two 300 mg gabapentin capsules in the the AM when I wake up. Oxycodone is a little bit stronger than Vicodin. But I agree with the first poster that you need to contact your pharmacist to make sure the combo is OK for you to take as everyone is different and you may have underlying medical conditions that would make it an unsafe. choice for you.
Avatar f tn I am type 2 and have been diagnosed with PDR in both eyes. I've been getting Lucentis injections and they have improved my vision. The retina specialist said there is a new drug about to get FDA approval and he thinks it will work better for me than Lucentis. Can anybody tell me anything about this drug? And what will it cost?
Avatar f tn Your story is very common almost normal for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy PDR . First of all your FA, OCT and eye exam will not be normal. You have diabetic retinopathy almost assuredly background DR and your PDR is inactive. Laser doesn't "cure" you it can just for a time stop progression. Laser works by killing tissue and creating scars so you have laser marks and scars inside your eye.

Avatar m tn Hello, I am new to this group. I have had more than 85 blood tests since I was diagnosed with Lyme in July of 2014. All have been negative. I have been on may drugs for pain and currently on Gabapentin for vocal cord/coughing issues and leg pain (knee, calf, left side back). I don't think it is helping much. Is anyone else on Gabapentin?
293157 tn?1285873439 Because I seem to be responding better to this latter drug, I am now slowly weaning off the gabapentin. I guess if the pain increases as I go off the gabapentin, this will tell me it was helping more than I realized. I have no side effects from the gabapentin, even at such a high dose. I do find the 50mg amitriptyline makes me very drowsy, and may need to scale it back to 40mg if this side effect continues.
Avatar f tn Has anyone expierence swelling of the face with gabapentin? I know it can be a side effect. My question is; Is this an allergic reaction or is the dosage too much?

Avatar m tn Most of the individuals described in these reports had a history of poly-substance abuse or used Gabapentin to relieve symptoms of withdrawal from other substances. When prescribing Gabapentin carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and observe them for signs and symptoms of Gabapentin misuse or abuse (e.g. development of tolerance, self-dose escalation, and drug-seeking behavior).
4186651 tn?1357830957 Has anyone else taken Gabapentin for all of these pains neuralgia migraines? I'm petrified to take this drug because of all the bad side affects! Did it help or harm anyone? Or should I wait to see the NS first before I take it?
Avatar f tn I had an episode of burning on my forhead and cheeks and pins and needle feelings in which I started Gabapentin for. Over a 4 week period I gradually increased the dosage to what I am on now, 300mg three times daily. This seems to help greatly with the nerve pain but I started after 2 weeks to develop a very itchy neck, ear lobe, and face. My face sometimes looked like it was burned. Im just wondering if anyone has had this while taking Gabapentin.

Avatar f tn Went to a new doctor today and he seems to feel the vicodene is no longer working so he had prescribed me gabapentin-100 mgs. three times a day. My concern now is withdrawing from the vocoden. doctor has suggested that I taper down to half a pill a week (of the vicodene). Of course I did not tell him how much I was taking of the vicodene.In searching this forum I have read different opions on the gabaperntin.
