Common Questions and Answers about Gabapentin with morphine

Avatar n tn My doctor has suggested we try Gabapentin. Can I take that WITH my current meds or does he mean instead of? From reading these other posts, I don't think it would do as well for me by itself. Thank you for your advice.
1187071 tn?1279369698 It is a pill that has morphine in it and another med to make you not feel the high of the morphine and not get addicted to it. Well so I thought. I stopped all meds at once just like the dr told me too and I went from Thursday to Saturday with out any meds. On saturday I woke up feeling fine and I went to work and started feeling so sick to my stomach. I went to the bathroom and puked 10 times. I went home and layed around. I promised my kids I would take them to the mall so I had to.
Avatar f tn Anyone there with MS know what can work best for my 24/7 pain..
Avatar m tn Daily my mum would take, 2400mg of gabapentin, sevredol, buscopan, amitriptyline, baclofen, 100mg morphine, ondansatron, omeprozole, fluoxetine, lidocaine patches and an antibiotic for infections as she is constantly getting infections whilst being catheterised. we know that morphine would not be a good combination with cannabis oil and are maybe going to try and wing her off morphine and replace it with cannabis oil. I would really appreciate some advice. I can elaborate on anything if needed.
Avatar n tn Yes, I often recommend clonidine during withdrawals. I also suggest gabapentin, Requip, Seroquel low dose, and Soma if you can get it. Varerian and magnesium are useful as well. It is hard to do it by yourself, so if you run into trouble, read my blogs or look on my clinic website for more info. Good luck to you.
Avatar m tn I've been scouring the internet for information about any medication that will help ease methadone withdraws. I've been on 20-30mg for almost 3 months, which I posted about earlier. I don't have anything to help get through this, but I found some gabapentin and have read from numerous sources can be a godsend for opiate w/d symptoms. Does anyone have any experience using this?
Avatar f tn in a coma and a week after coming home I was found having a seziure with 104 fever, pneumonia. Since I have been home I have weaned off Oxycodone, Gabapentin, and all other meds for pain except the 60mg Kadian. I have had nausea and vomiting every day since I have been home. We split the Kadian to 30/30mg and I am still sick. I am hoping it is the Kadian that is making me sick. Even though I have taken it for a long time with no side effects I can't think what else it could be.
653169 tn?1303446369 t take it yesterday and had no problem sleeping at night, but I also took a clonazepam at bedtimes with the morphine and thought that was the reason I slept so much better. I never had any problems with the prozac before, but that doesn't mean it's not causing the problem now. hmm well I will have to evaluate this further.
1187071 tn?1279369698 this is the dose I have been on for 3 years, recently my pain management doc increased this med to 2700mg.....the internist I also see disagreed with this increase, he told me gabapentin when used for nerve pain is no longer therapeutic after 1800mg, but I tried the increase anyway for 3 months and he was right, I felt NO greater reduction in pain with 2700 than i did with the 1800mg....therefor it was reduced back down!!...just something to keep in mind. I hope this works for you.
Avatar f tn TN pain is usually controlled by anti-convulsant drugs such as Tegretol, Gabapentin, or Trileptal among others. Morphine is usually prescribed for Trigeminal Neuropathic pain -- similar but a more constant type of pain. If your TN is caused by the tumors, removing them may resolve the pain for you. But your doctors would be able to answer that question.
Avatar m tn I am on gabapentin, Hydromorph Contin and Methadone to control pain. I also am taking acupuncture and trying a desensitization technique by rubbing different kinds of materials along my leg. The pain can be quite severe. Do you have any other suggestions that would take away the pain?
Avatar n tn I am allergic to Aspirin, Morphine, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Tramadol and Ibuprofen. After my last back surgery they put me on Gabapentin several times a day. Now I just take it at night to help take the edge off so I can sleep. Now I have to have a shoulder replacement in 2 weeks and they want me to see a pain management specialist because they don't know what to give me when I come home. I told them to just up the Gabapentin to several times a day. But they don't want to do that.
Avatar f tn I went 12 weeks not knowing i was pregnant and i was taking many meds daily including morphine, gabapentin, lyrica, nabumetone yiu name it. But my baby is healthy! No worries!
Avatar f tn I could then take it to discuss with my doctors. Also, would it be possible to take morphine sulphate in combination with the Tramadol/gabapentin I already take. I would appreciate any help - I want some kind of life - one worth living for. Thank you so much to anyone who tries to help.
Avatar m tn My boyfriend just came clean about his IV Morphine addiction. He's been doing it off and on for 4 years now and I found his syringes last night while we were cleaning the house - he came clean to me about the addiction and flushed all of his stuff. He wants to quit cold turkey but I am so scared about the whole process and don't know what to do.
293157 tn?1285873439 Also I know that this forum being what it is of course most pain here is likely to be neurological. I never did the trial with gabapentin, it is still in my fridge, out of date now I think. Who knows, it may have even worked for me...just had my opinions set from my experiences, which were of a patient group not typical of those here. Anyway, it's always good to get two sides of an argument, wobbly is either now very well informed or confused!
Avatar n tn Thank you both for answering my concerns. I actually had an appt this morning with my Primary Dr. and she has put me on 30mg of Morphine Sulfate CR. 2x's/Daily and Gabapentin 300mg, which i work up from 1 in evening to 3 per day and use the Oxy for break-thru pain when needed.
5447621 tn?1368108821 This is not good news for me at all. I am 25mcg every 3 days and I am assuming be tossed off my pain management program tomorrow. I have been concerned with withdrawal as I went thru it after my spinal fusion when being hospitalized for 4 days post surgery and on morphine every 2 hours the entire time. coming home sucked! I thought I was going nuts. the second day I took myself off all meds completely thinking it was the percocet 10s they had me on plus flexeril and gabapentin...
Avatar m tn and thanks to the wonderful Doctor that is treating me I am 90% better with medication, I take several but one of them is Gabapentin wich helps the left part of my brain work better and block the pain and this combine with Norco, my question is....why does Norco give so much!
Avatar f tn Today is only day 2 off of 25mcg fent patches. I'm trying to detox before I start on morphine ER on Friday because I know if I just switch then the morphine won't help me. I have DDD, spinal stenosis, a spinal arachnoid cyst, scoliosis, and whatever else. I'm a single mom to an almost 4 yr old and it's just me and him. I'm taking a lot of gabapentin and Imodium.
Avatar n tn I am on Morphine time release 30 mg and 15 mg of morphine immediate release when the pain gets bad even with the other meds. A cold, ,fever , stress or anxiety from anything can set this off. When I do things even bending for a prolong period I am in chronic pain. You do learn to live with it. I don't let it run my life. I cannot as I have Children now adults that need to see strength. It is hard at times. I wish better for you. If you are curious...
444864 tn?1205155893 Sometimes a flare up can make it difficult to put weight on my leg/hip. I am being treated with Gabapentin (neurotin) and also Tylenol 3 and sometimes Demerol. I am afraid of becomming addicted to narcotics. For those who have been on Narcotics long term...how do you cope? Has anyone else experienced nerve pain after spinal fusion from scoliosis?
Avatar m tn I also wanted to share that there is a Gallbladder forum here on MH as well where you may find others in the same situation OR you may be able to help others if you are interested. It seems like with all you have been through with the surgeries, you may be able to guide others just starting there journey. Just an idea anyway. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Gallbladder/show/1208 If you have difficulties while your detoxing...
1007064 tn?1275322768 The pain got so bad i had to go back to the hospital for a week and they only pump me with all kinds of drugs, setroids, iv morphine and pill morphine,vicodin,valium,lortab,tramadol,gabapentin. He was just trying to get me out of pain then send me home. Then two days the pain was back i went to see him and he gave me RX of oxy 60mg twice aday on the other stuff but told me to stop the morphine. this last time that i was in the hospital they did a mri and ct.
20816447 tn?1527987648 My problem is I do suffer from chronic pain. I do have a Pain Management Dr. I've had 4 back surgeries. I was a teachers aide in special ed and one of my students attack me resulting in fracturing my L4/L5/S1 also I have rheumatoid arthritis anyway I was put on 60mg morphine er twice a day and for the breakthrough oxycodone 15 mg every 4/6 hours. I was doing fine then he started lowering my meds. He put me on 1 60mg of morphine er and oxycodone 15mg every 6 hours.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm wondering if it is safe for me to take Gabapentin for withdrawal symptoms from methadone? I read somewhere that the gaba is sometimes prescribed for that. I have never taken it before in my life and got a hold of a few 300mg capsules the other day. I have been into opiates off and on for about 8 years, getting pretty bad into them this past year. I think it is alot mental with me though. I started off on Perc 5's and 10's, graduating to oxy 30's about a year ago.
