600mg 3x day plus meloxicam and I'm still in pain... Five herniated discs, hypercalcimia, irreversible nerve damage, bone spurs, arthritis and I'm only 42...please send prayers

My husband was prescribed Gabapentin when he developed Guillian Barre Syndrome. He was paralyzed below the neck for a year. He was one of the 20-30% left with permanent nerve damage so he still takes Gabapentin. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1989. Lyrica didn't help at all but Gabapentin does. We have no side effects.

I did a very heavy lifting job for 40 years, and the last 5 year of it I began to experience occasional numbness in my left hand, found myself dropping things without even knowing, had about 4 short bouts of Vertigo, eyes were jerking left and right, like my brain was doing cartwheels, pain and swelling in my back and Shoulder, and these things slowly crept up on me till I retired at 55, the pain in by back and shoulder got worse, so bad it would wake me up at night, thought maybe I had pulled muscles or torn tendons at work, my left tricep, fore arm back of hand and thumb felt like they were on fire, went to the Doc, she notice my back and shoulder were swelled way out, got X-rays that showed I had Arthritis in my neck, which was putting pressure on my spinal chord, she prescribed Gabapentin, 300mg three times a day and on the second day all the symptoms were gone, been on the drug now for 9 years without experiencing any of these crippling symptoms, have slight dizziness now and again but otherwise living a painless active life :)

I take 1800mg of Gabapentin a day, and it’s a God sent. Without it, I would never be able to get out of bed. I have bulging disc in the lower back, and severe arthritis in my spine. With that medication, and other meds that I take for my heart I’m able to have somewhat a quality of life.

Ok, I had to comment...I've seen so much crap on here from doctors, pharmacists, etc..You are one of the first who are completely honest, and totally correct about this medication, in which I can comment on because I've been on it for quite a few years now along with other medications you have mentioned..Its good to see the right information given out for once..everyone should always discuss their medication interactions with their provider and see videos like this so if you brought up something a patient isnt aware of or questions they can discuss it with their doctor on the next visit! You speak calmly and are clear on what you say, instead of dancing around an issue...thanx for this!

That was the most thorough description of this medication I have ever seen or heard. Thank you!
I liked and subscribed. 👍

Took this for my both full knee replacements and it was fantastic

[lynndennis]

I took this following lung surgery for shooting nerve pain. It helped tremendously, better than prescription pain medication. It also definitely helped me sleep. No side effects. Thankful my doctor prescribed it.

[jerrysanders]

This is a lifesaver for people dealing with opiate withdrawal. And also people who taper off of drugs like suboxone or methadone. The restless legs and arms can be extreme. Also making sleep impossible. Thank you for your work.

I am a 68 year old male and have had migraines for 47 years. For the last few years, I've had major, severe migraine pain on the order of 20+ migraines per month. One Neurologist told me that my trigeminal nerve had simply become too sensitive to stimuli (bright lights, strong smells, eye strain, and sinus issues), but she stopped short of offering me anything that would/could help. Note: my wife uses Gabapentin (2400 mg) for nerve issues following her two knee replacements. My wife suggested to my PCP that I try Gabapentin. We started at a lower dosage but found that 2400 mg was very successful at controlling my migraines. For example, for the month of January 2021, I've only had 4 migraines instead of the normal 20+. I really think other migraine sufferers might benefit from Gabapentin.

Originally I took 300mg three times a day for chemotherapy related neuropathy crippling my hands and feet. Over time and with a lot of physical therapy I regained my walking but still have numbness inhibiting my hands. I have reduced my dose to twice a day, looking forward to ending this medication. I am in remission from lymphoma.

200 mg before bedtime to stop the buzzing in my leg after botched back surgery. I sleep better with no side effect.

[gailgarmon]

I have CMT (same thing Alan Jackson has). It causes severe neuropathy in my feet, especially when I go to bed at night and put my feet up. I take two 300 mg Gabapentin before bedtime and have no pain or trouble sleeping. I have been taking it for several years and have had no problems or side effects.

[barbararosebrook]

My doctor prescribed this medicine when I had shingles two years ago it worked really good.I also have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and noticed my fibromyalgia had improved so been taking this medication daily. To me I feel like this medication has been the best to control my fibromyalgia.

[rebeccarivers]

They always want to give this for opiod withdrawl but no one would explain why. This video gave me more info ib a few mins than dozens of dr's over many years.

[vickibrown]

I was on Gabapentin & the side effects were worse than what I was taking it for. Needless to say, I’m never taking Gabapentin again!

[joemcdonald]

Thankyou so much for your very helpful post...you answered more questions than my doctor and pharmacist combined

[normakeen]

Thank you for this information. I'm on 1200 mg a day. Experiencing dry mouth and mild forgetfulness. I'm almost 80 yo. I am experiencing heavy legs and it helps a lot. Type 2 diabetes for more than 25 y.

My cat was prescribed this, which has worked wonders for her. I have an acquaintance in alcohol recovery prescribed this as well, which led me to you. Subscribing, thank you.
