I have had bulimia for 20 years. The disorder started when I was 11 years old...essentially because of a traumatic childhood circumstance. I also have bipolar disorder. My questions. 1. How long does it take for the binge cravings to go away? 2. What dose is effective (I am on 50mg daily now) 3. Has anyone with severe bulimia had success? ## I don't have any personal experience with this medication, but wanting to help, I did find another thread on here with other Topamax patients, that may offer more insight to answering some of your questions: Discuss/Topamax-and-Binge-Eating-Disorder-231043.htm I hope this helps!

I have been prescribed neurontin fo agonising nerve pain, especially in the cervical spine, following an injury to my back a year ago. I was put on 400mgs once a day and have been on them for a week now. I have all the expected side-effects, brain fog (or sludge), nausea, extreme tiredness, insomnia, loss of balance, depresssion and suicidal thoughts, constipation and inability to pee. There's been no effect on the terrible pain yet. Please don't advise me to 'see my doctor': I am stuck in a backwater of southern Europe (Greece) where there is no medical monitoring or help. Neurontin or Lyrica are the only drugs they'll give you for pain. What I want to know is, does it get better? When might it have an effect on the pain and when will the side effects wear off? Will...

Hi I recently went to dr. to refill my gabapentine prescrip and he said I was on it too long. I was taking 600 mg bid and I have been off now since Tuesday. I was on it for fibromyalgia. It actually worked. I am going thru some major withdrawls and want to know if it is possible to get it without prescrip. I cant take it anymore ## I'm sorry to hear your Dr is being a ****! I had no idea Gab was a narcotic and that people were abusing it to the point the Dr felt it neccesary to rip it away from you so drasticly! Esspecially for something like fibro! I feel for you because I had a Dr that was prescribing Norco 10/325 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hours for herniated discs in my neck and lower back for close to a couple years. During the course of that couple years I had surgery replacing a disc...

Which deases Gabapentin & Methylcobalamin Tablets use and what are the side effect. Medicine name is Mecolup_G ## This medication doesn't actually treat a disease, per se, it is used to treat certain types of nerve pain, which could be caused by a disease, but it could also be caused by injury.

I started getting severe headaches back in high school. my migraines started in college, especially post college. I am almost 25. I was prescribed Maxalt to get rid of my migraines at first which did not help at all. my neurologist would up my dosage and to say the least, it was like tylenol. it did nothing. Relpax was like my miracle drug. my issue was that over the past year or two, my migraines worsened and because you're not supposed to take relpax more than twice a day or three times a week, I felt that taking a daily pill would be the best option. I've been on Topamax for 2 weeks now and have seen a significant difference in my migraines. My work environment has been extremely stressful especially in the past couple of days and usually I would be coming home with a migrain...

white oblong pill n line another n on the front 300 on the back ## The closest match I'm finding to this pill is Gabapentin (300mg); an anticonvulsant, also used to treat certain types of nerve pain. Manufacturer: Novopharm, Canada. The only thing is, this pill is regarded as an oblong light yellow capsule filled with white powder. It has an "N" and "300" written in a blueish grey. Based on your description, I can only speculate that it might also be from the same manufacturer... Has anyone else here seen this pill before?

Is Teva Gabapentin a placebo or real? I used to get a different brand not these. Teva generic are not helping the same. ## That tablet is listed as containing 600mgs of Gabapentin.

I Also have parkinsons but meds are not supposed to conflict.(azilect). Gabapentin works great for tremor but scary if I miss a dose. Any one else? ## How long have you been taking it? It's unusual to have a reaction that soon upon missing a dose. Learn more Gabapentin details here. However, since it is happening, what I'd suggest is your setting up some type of reminder system to avoid missing doses. I use an app on my iPhone that beeps whenever I need to take my next dose of medications, but even leaving yourself notes around the house could work. Have you tried any reminder methods?
