Neurotin Dosage

Started taking Bystolic 5 mg 5 weeks ago, heart date is down to 51 BPM, also put on neurotin for nerve tingling not from diabeties, started at 100mg now at 300 mg. experiencing severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I realize it's the meds. How do I reduce them without causing more serious side effects. The neurotin did not help the tingling pain, but relieved arthritic knee pain, and although my bp is down my heart rate is so low I am unable to walk uphill without shortness of breathe. Is it okay to just reduce the dosage for a few days? ## Wow! Yes, it seems that they are both causing problems.

Here's a link with a comprehensive list of withdrawal symptoms which you can have from Neurotin. The symptoms are from Benzodiazepine (Librium and Valium) withdrawal which is similar to Neurontin. Go down to Withdrawal Symptoms. ## As an observer of someone of someone withdrawing from Gabapentin, all I can say is that I've never seen such behavioral changes in people with Benzo addiction and withdrawal as I have in people taking Gabapentin. This may not be true for people taking a low (100 mg 2x daily) dosage that remains constant over a period of years, but it certainly is for a person who begins on a low dosage which is quickly raised over a period of a year to a rather high (800 mg 3x daily) dosage and then asked to begin titration by a new Pain Management Specialist.

blue grey round pill ## I've been on oxy-cod for over a year. I take two 5-325's a day for pain. It's the only thing that works for me following surgery. Can I safely take this amount forever? My dr was me to take neurotin, but it makes me tired and spacey. Thanks for any info. ## Acetaminophen with Oxycodone is a generic for Percocet, this is a narcotic pain reliever. No medication can be guaranteed to be taken safely forever, there is always the risk of side effects, reactions and your body becoming basically immune to the current dosage and requiring an adjustment or switch to a different medication. Have you talked to your doctor about this? Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. You can read more on it here:
