i have been taking it and possibly may get tested for it. ## Hi morgan, According to a number of sources I've come across, the half life of Neurontin (Gabapentin) is 5-7 hours, and is generally out of your system in 2 days time. My reference for the info above can be viewed in the link below: NOTE: Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables while staying hydrated throughout the day will significantly help your body detox quicker. Besides getting plenty of rest each night I'd also recommend getting at least an hour each day of exercise in to help sweat out any toxins and get your lymphatic system flowing (which will aid in detoxification as well). For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I...

Hi all. I started Topamax two days ago after much hesitation (scary side effects). I had severe migraines from age 17 to about 50ish (I'm 61 now) then they subsided to an occasional migraine and low grade cronic headaches that had about the same duration as the former migraine pattern. Not as debilitating but exhausting nontheless. After struggling with rebound headaches in addition to the real ones, my primary doc recommended Topamax and also suggested that it might, possibly have a positive effect on tremor and weight loss (fingers crossed). I'm also on an anti-depressant and thyroid med if that makes any difference with Topa. So, after two days I'm concerned enough to stop taking it. I'm not concerned about the fog, tingles or numbness, I've read here in the forum...

I have always used the same phamacy. For about a year the purple and white capsles contained a white pill but now they contain powder. The pharmacey said they had no clue. I can't find anywhere that has dilantin as a powder. Anyone know anything about this? Sorry, but meds and seizures have left me about brain dead. I can't spell anymore. ## I take Phenytoin Sodium capsuls, 100 mg., and I believe they have powder inside. I think the manufacturer is Amneal. They are a substitute for Dilantin; I get them at Walgreens. I just started having seizures last year right before I turned 60. I hate them. I'm afraid to walk around the block because I'm afraid I'll have one and hit my head on the cement. Good luck and God bless. ## Hi, A month ago today I started on Phenyotion 1...

For joint pain and potential nerve damage due to long term anxiety and panic attacks. Internal medicine put me on 8 tablets of tramadol daily and after 9 months a new doctor seriously thinks I became dependent, so he weaned me off and prescribed x3 tablets 1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 evening of Gabapentin. I'm 3 days into it and want to feel optimistic. Will update on progress or status. Please do the same if you have been on it for awhile. It's not a narcotic, so I feel better and no noticeable side-effects. Hope this helps. Doc was pretty good at analyzing everything about me, full blood work up and physical exam. ## Just so you know. There is a difference in dependacy and addicted. The new medication was cause you to be dependent also. If you ever stop taking this med, you will...

I am currently taking gabapentin and tried to stop them however the withdrawal was awful I couldn't stand the insomnia, anxiety, light sensitive and extremely irritable, heart pounding. So I had to carry on taking them. Me and my partner are desperate for a child but a don't like the sound of how long it will take me to get off these tablets. Plus I work full time and long hours so can't put up with insomnia. Any suggestions and what are the effects on the baby if I carried on with a low dose? Thankyou

Many people have gotten very good results with them, so you may want to discuss that with your doctor. What else have you tried?

DO THEY STILL PRESCRIPE PHENOBARBITOL WHERE CAN I GET SOME FOR SLEEP ## Yes, this medication is still prescribed. My research says that it is actually the most widely used anticonvulsant worldwide, and the oldest still commonly used. Some common brand names for this medication include: Luminal and Solfoton. You'd have to give your local pharmacy a call or visit to make sure they can have it ready for you (provided you have a valid prescription for it from your doctor). That is the only legal way to get some here in the U.S. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.
