Just wondering if it's safe to mix Hydrocodone 10mg + Gabapentin 600mg + Latuda 20mg? I'm concerned about my health. ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), taking Hydrocodone and Latuda (Lurasidone) together may increase your risk of certain side effects, such as a loss of balance or dizziness, slurred speech, confusion, changes in mental awareness & slow or shallow breathing. They go on to note that in some cases where both medications are required, your doctor may adjust the dosage and/or frequency of dosing in order to mitigate these risk factors. I hope this info helps and wish you good health!

I've been taking Gabapentin 600mg tablets since 2009. My tabs have on them two different types of #s. P636 - This tablet is blue. The other is white with G31 600mg. Why the difference? Also would like to know how long will they last before they expire? Thank you. ## correct only the activas by teva green tablet r636 are the only decent ones made in america that work well other than greenstone made in the states as well work. all others are garbage imo. only take fill with activas greens which are the only green tablets or greenstone white tablets. all others are made out the states and cause severe headaches and stomach issues and do not work nearly like the activas teva r636. took me forever to find them cause they are so low on stock on this generic. after a day worth of calls and...

I have been taking Gabapentin 600mg. in a light green oval tablet for 6 mo. for neuro pain. Each morning with no side effects. My last prescription was a white oval tablet with APO on one side and Gab.600 on the other side. I quickly brought this to my pharmacists attention. He reassured me it was the same thing. Since Iv been taking it 1 week I feel bad. Im weak, poor balance,sleep around the clock, and cant remember common words. Any idea would really help.Thank you. ## Hello, Ann! How are you feeling? Sorry about the problem that you're having. There is a chance that it's due to side effects from the medication, or these symptoms could be entirely unrelated. Some of these anticonvulsants that affect brain chemicals can cause such issues with long-term use. Have you consulted ...

Does this pill have a Gluten filler in it? ## Hello, Patricia! How are you? One of the fillers in this capsule is corn starch and, as you may be aware, it is usually processed in facilities that also process wheat products, so much of it is contaminated with gluten. That means that yes, there is a possibility that there may be some in this. Are you having a problem with it? Some type of reaction? ## Hi I don't know but I took 2 pills that totaled 600mg of gabapentin and one 40 ext- release of omeprazole . Is that ok ## No so far I'm fine I just want to know if I need to see a doctor

I've been prescribed 10mg targin with 600mg of Gabapentin , can I take a Vicodin a couple of hrs later to help relieve nerve pain ... I don't want to overdose .. ## Hello, Nina! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. You should stick with one or the other, since both Targin and Vicodin contain Acetaminophen, taking too much of it daily, or in any 8 hour period could result in overdose toxicity, which may be fatal. I could also be dangerous to double up on the narcotics, as well. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is there a 100mg tablet of gabapentin? I have heard there is but have only been told or heard of 300mg or 600mg. Can you confirm this for me please? ## Yes, there is a 100 dose, it's what I started on about 12 years ago. Mine was in capsule form. ## Donna is correct. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight gain. Is there anything else we can help with?

And is it safe to drive on it? I am very worried about taking this drug. ## Is Gabapentin addictable? Also, I cannot afford to gain any weight. Am on a lot of meds already. ## i want to know if gabapentin can be given for bipolar disorder also I have anxiety and ocd just it says that it can be given for mania and anxiety and depression which are the symptoms of bipolar. I also have a personality disorder. ## Yes, gabapentin can be addictive physically when taken regularly for a period of time depending on the person. Some people may have symptoms and others little or no symptoms when discontinued. I am on 600mg 3*daily and if I miss a dose I feel it. My body will remind me within a few hours of missing a dose.

I am on 600mgs gabapentin 3 times daily. It has caused weight gain and due to the short duration of action I have to dose three separate times. I wanted to know if pregabalin might be better for me. I take gabbys for anxiety and mood disorder. I have heard pregabalin is more efficient and effective. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks. ## There's no way to say which one is more efficient and effective for any given person that tries it, since we are all different. What works well for one person may not work for another, and vice versa. As reported by the FDA, they both carry the risk of causing similar side effects, which aside from the weight gain, may also include nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood swings. Have you discussed the issues with your doctor?

My husband is prescribed gabapentin. He has been taking it for about four years now. He first took it while in rehab to overcome opiate addiction. He can take ten 600mg tablets at once and go about his day. When he runs out he buys it through other means. When he can't find it, he takes opiates. I am an extreme enabler and I give him money every week. He lies and steals and pawns things to support his habit. I need help. I don't know what to do. He wants help but doesn't want to go to rehab. How can I help him and save our family? ## Sara, that's tough to hear. You pretty much described me. My wife took our 3 kids and stayed with her parents for a week.

my new prescription looks different the markings are different are they the same old G I 21 New G I 24 with MYLAN on the other side The line is the cutting line. ## Yes, they both contain 600mgs of Gabapentin, so it is the same medication and the same dosage. It is very common for your pharmacy to switch the generic manufacturer they have on hand, depending on who was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to restock their medication.

I was just prescribed some Gabapentin 600mg after being on the 300m for about 2 months. the later did nothing for the pain in my foot which the doctor says is nerve damage from being frost bitten a long time ago. I really do not think that they (doctors ) really know what is wrong with my foot. I have not been ministerd any type of testing. I believe that my doctors gave me this to pacify me. I have been reading on this website that this drug takes a long time to take effect something like 8 months to a year, and that it is not habit forming. I was prescribed 180 pills with 5 refills which makes me wonder why so many pills for so long. so far the 600mg are doing nothing for the pain in my foot, Does anyone know of this med helping them in any way. I really need some help for my foot sho...

What is the difference between gabapentin 600mg TAB ACT and gabapentin 600mg TAB GLE? ## Hello, Curious! How are you?

I took gabapentin, 600mg at bedtime for 4 months as a sleep aid and relief of unmanageable migraines. During treatment, the following was noted ataxia confusion amnesia going from completely awake to completely asleep with no warning or drowsiness. odd behavior during the night of which I have no memory After stopping the drug, I had extremely vivid dreams, sleep paralysis, auditory hallucinations, mania and hypersensitivity. No side effects were life threatening, but the hallucinations were very real and extremely disturbing. I've been off the drug for 10 days now and have had no more problems. ## Those side effects sound very unpleasant to say the least. Glad to hear that they went away after you discontinued the medication. Sadly enough, I don't think pharmaceutical companies...

I've taken Gabapentin for 12 years increasing every time the pain worsened. In December my dose was 3600mg daily plus 600mg Lyrica. My trigeminal neuralgia pain was getting worse so i had brain surgery in December 2015. A week later on doctors instructions i eliminated one Gabapentin a week, then one Lyrica a week.. for the last three weeks i have been so nauseous i am miserable.. How long can this last? Is there any over the counter relief? ## After being on it for so many years, it may take over a month for all your withdrawal symptoms to go away. As reported by the FDA, they may also include fever, diarrhea and rebound pain. I'm not sure what might help with the nausea. Possibly Bonine, if your doctor approves of you trying it. Its typical side effects may include dizziness, ...

I have been taking way too much gabapentin for several years now. I started taking it to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms from suboxone. Then I started taking more and more and found out that stopping gabapentin has its own terrible withdrawal. I take about twenty 600mg gabapentin pills a day. More or less depending on how much I have. When I run out the withdrawal is pretty bad but what's worse is that it lasts way too long. It takes at least the days to get through the worst of it. I could just really use some help. Does suboxone help alleviate gabapentin/lyrica withdrawal symptoms? ## A slow taper is usually the best and safest way to stop, since an abrupt withdrawal could create the risk of seizures, according to the FDA, along with nausea, fever, chills, anxiety, rebound pain...
