this may sound a dumb question but is pre gabapentin the same drug as gabapentin ## Hello, Ema! How are you? I think you may be confusing the name of two medications, Pregabalin and Gabapentin. They are both anticonvulsants that are also used to treat some mood disorders and certain types of nerve pain, but they are two different medications. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, I have a similar question. I have had my urine sent to a lab to check for gabapentin. I am wondering will pregabalin turn up the same as gabapentin when sent off? They are only checking for gabapentin. ## Are pregabbas dangerous?????i got told it's like Russian roulette with your l...

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?

And all the pharmacy says it's a different company that makes them but they are still the same pill.. No they are not.. I'm just tried of all this and don't know what to do... ## Yes you are so correct! The green actavis now teva tablets are the only efficient generics for gaba 600. Actavis period.

My brother has told me that people are opening up capsules and insufflating the contents. As I'm worried that my brother may be involved in this practice could you give me signs to look out for and how dangerous this can be? ## Hello, Jaxie! How are you? These medications aren't actual analgesics, though since they can be used to treat some types of nerve pain, it seems many people assume they are and that they work like analgesics. These are actually anticonvulsants that have been shown to help with some nerve pain, as I have already stated, as well as some mood disorders. In order to achieve their proper levels of therapeutic efficacy in your body, they must be taken regularly for about 4 to 5 weeks. Now, as to insufflating the contents, they might experience a brief period of...

I found a pill behind the seat of one of my employee's work trucks. It's a yellowish capsule with a big G on it and the numbers 5027.

Why would my doctor prescribe gabapentin when my blood pressure is difficult to control? It's 100/150 at times. I was complaining to my Dr that my hands are becoming difficult to control; I drop & throw things.
