pain medication ## Please see the drug Gabapentin for more information. Thank You! ## what is this med for? ## Gabapentin was originally developed for the treatment of epilepsy, and currently, gabapentin is widely used to relieve pain, especially neuropathic pain. ## Roy, I take Gabapentin 600mg for some nerve in my left foot. By itself it hardly works. But I take it with another pain releiver it works just fine. I also take hydrocodone 5/500 mg. Now if I take any one of these alone they just don't seem to work on my foot.But together, I do have some relief. Thanks for the information. ## GABATENTIN, USED FOR? SIDE EFFECTS?

I was diagnosed with TN a month ago and the pain is unbearable .When it first happened I thought i had a bad tooth but more in the jaw then the tooth and the it went more to my face then forehead this freaked me out so I called the hospital and they told me to come in and they ended up keeping me for 4 days. Then the cycle began, they gave me pain medication and gabapentin and sent me home. Well every 3 or 4 days the pain would flair WAY up and I would end up in the ER where they would give me a IV injection on dilaudid and the pain would come way down from a 10+ to a 1 or 2,This same dilaudid in oral form does not seem to do any thing for the pain. My Dr has tried other pain meds but nothing oral will touch the pain when it flairs . I have taken 6 - 2mg tabs at one time and felt nothin...

need to see pictures of pill ## I'm sorry, but due to copyright reasons, I don't have any pictures to post for you. In addition, since this is a generic, there are quite a few on the market, manufactured by different companies and they will all have different markings to denote the manufacturer and dosage. Just to give you some examples, here are the markings and descriptions of a few of the 100mg Gabapentin products: A white capsule, with the marking G 5026. An orange and white capsule, with the marking R 665 on each half. A white capsule with the marking APO 112. A gray capsule with West-ward 991. A white and clear capsule with E 91 on each half. And there are more.... Are there any markings on the pill in question?

if you have had seizuries and taking dylatin can you take gabapentin for chronic pain ## Caution is advised regarding using the Gabapentin with the Phenytoin in Dilantin, because it can increase the level of central nervous system depression and psychomotor impairment that they both can cause. Has your doctor instructed you to use them both? If so, they should be monitoring you closely and they have to take the dosage of both under careful consideration.

will the dizziness and cordination problems go away after taking gabapentin for awhile, my head has this fuzzy like feeling, am taking for RLS. ## How long have you been taking it? Generally, side effects should hit their peak at around 4 to 6 weeks of use, which is around the same time the medication will reach its full effectiveness in the body. After this time, they should start to taper off in severity. If they do not, or if they get worse, you should contact your doctor, because this may not be the right medication for you. Are there any other questions?

it has been suggested that i take gabapentine for peripheral neuropathy.

I was just given a prescription for gabapentin 300mg 90 minutes before bedtime. Can increase 300mg every night to a max of 1200. This increase is weekly. I have symptoms of restless leg syndrome but my problem is much more than RLS. I have heavy legs and problems with balance. I was on Requip with some help to the symptoms but developed compulsive gambling problem. Is anyone else in a similar situation or have any advice for me as to what to expect. I have had this problem for over 5 years. It started with just kinda stubbing your toe as I walked and progressed to turing to walk a certain direction and my upper body moved but my legs did not follow. Things like stepping up on a curb became something to think about and prepare for before I attempted it. My legs and ankles tire easily. Th...
