Use Of Gabapentin
I was given Gabapentin for pain after surgery and I found that it did nothing but make me fall asleep which is why I may have been given the medication - who knows. Anyone out there has experience with Gabapentin as a pain killer??
Supposed to be for pain but I don’t like it!!
Gabapentin And Breviact
Hard one to answer. Everyone reacts to medication differently. I've had one that made me violent. One that made me want to kill myself (the list goes on). If you react to a medication in a negative… read more

Has Anyone Ever Had Joint Pain From Taking VIMPAT?
I started taking Vimpat about 2 years ago. About two months later I started having joint pain. The joint pain has only gotten worse and spread. I don't know for sure if the pain is caused by the Vimpat or not, but has anyone else ever developed joint pain from taking Vimpat? I have no history of joint injuries or joint diseases in my family. I also take Oxtellar(trileptal)
I am taking Gabapentin (neurontin) I get joint pains which is a new side effect. I have been on it for 5 months & that summon only started a month ago mainly in my fingers & knees. Be well
If I Had Another Seizure, Does That Mean Medical Marijuana Isn't Working?
I've been taking 600mg Zonisamide and 6mg Fycompa for a few years and still having seizure from time to time. A month ago I added .5 CBD oil in the am and pm. It had been 6 weeks ALL GOOD but then I had another seizure!!! Does that mean the medical marijuana isn't working?
Has Anyone Ever Tried "Gabapentin" For Your Epilepsy?
If so, please tell me if they actually worked and whats the side effects? I'm only scared to take them because I was just told you can be addicted to them. And I'm far from a drug user.
I take 600 mg 3 times a day along with Topamax 2 times a day. This is the best combination that I have been on. They all have side effects but for me, on these they are minimal.
