I have Huntingtons accompanied by neuropathy which is causing excruciating, widespread pain. My pain manager is telling me that in Tennessee they are being required to reduce patient's dosage. As my disease progresses the pain increases. As my disease symptoms increase the pain med dosage is decreasing and life continues to be quite the challenge. Does anyone know a good doctor or pain manager in my area? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However, that is true, they are required to reduce dosages of many patients, if they are currently taking more than a set amount each month. Thus, it's going to be the same, regardless of what doctor you go to and, due to other regulations that were also put in place, if you require controlled ...

This pill is an 800 mg gabapentin(generic) or Neurontin. It's used for nerve pain. It's not 800 ibuprofen! I know this for a fact, because I take this medication. ## Hello, Nikki! How are you? That is correct, but I would like to clarify that it isn't just used to treat nerve pain. It is actually an anticonvulsant, so it can also be used to prevent seizures and to treat certain mood disorders. Typical side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does the pill ig322 300 mg yellow capsule have withdrawal side effects if taken for a week or a little longer ## Hello, R2girl! How are you? This capsule contains 300mgs of Gabapentin, which is an anticonvulsant that has also been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. If you've only been on it for a week, there shouldn't be any issues with stopping it, but it would be best to check with your doctor, first. If you were taking high doses of it, there can be a slight risk of seizures and rebound pain from stopping it cold turkey, but those usually only occur with long-term use. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on gabapentin for a week know not having any relief. Doctor prescribed it for carpal tunnel. Any suggestions for me need some relief fast unable to sleep due to the pain. Thank you! ## Hello, Bella! How are you? Gabapentin is not an analgesic, so it will not work that fast to help with pain. It is an anticonvulsant that can help with some types of nerve pain, due to the way it acts on brain chemicals, but it will take about 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full efficacy level in your body to see if it will help you. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Actually when taking gabapentin you will get pain relief both immediately and as it builds up in your system. I got this information from bo...

I've been on Gabapentin for three weeks. The unsteadiness has improved somewhat but the vision has me worried. My sight clears up about an hour or so before the next dose. It's not an alarming loss of vision, just a fuzziness that's bothersome when I read. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it take to pass? ## Hello Hi I too am dizzy from medication but I also take other , cancer p/ T in remission. Maybe you need lower dose ask your Dr. Nice Day ## @Lonnie, Based on my research, blurred vision is actually listed as one of the more common side effects associated with Gabapentin. Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0045606/#DDIC600709.side_effects_section On that note, I don't know if you can even expect it to go away while you're still taking the medi...

since i have been taking the medication i have develop a yellow discharge. It does not itch or smell so I don't think it is a yeast infection. ## Hello, Martha! How are you? A yellow discharge could be the sign of a bacterial infection, so you do need to have it checked out by your doctor. The Gabapentin hasn't been known to cause that. Its normal side effects include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

what is this? under it I only make out the last number 5 as it is cut in half ## this pill is oval and white and ends with ENTIN with the 5 inder it ## Hello, Adele! How are you? I'm sorry, but I can't find anything that matches this. I thought perhaps it was a Gabapentin tablet, but I'm not seeing any that actually have that on them and the 5 doesn't match the available dosages. It could be a foreign tablet, which may explain my not finding it. Learn more Gabapentin details here. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that's also used to treat some forms of nerve pain and many people think it's a straight analgesic, just like a narcotic, so many do order them illegally from other countries. I can't be sure, without the full imprint, this is just a guess. Does anyon...

this pill is not quite 3/4" long. My pharmacy substituted it for Gabopentin and when I questioned it they said it was a change of Mfg. I'm leery of it, it is larger than gabopentin and tends to give me indigestion. Please set my mind at ease. Thank you. ## Hello, Sue! How are you? Yes, these are 800mg Gabapentin tablets that are manufactured by Camber Pharmaceuticals. There may be a different inactive ingredient that could be causing your indigestion. Have you tried taking it with food? ## thank you so much, I feel much better.

I wanted to get verication if these pills r stronger then tylonol 3 or 4 ## Hello, Kevin! How are you doing? No, Gabapentin is actually an anticonvulsant that has been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain. Thus, it does not work like a regular analgesic, because it takes several weeks for it to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to alleviate pain. The Tylenol contains Codeine, which will start to alleviate pain shortly after you take it and which is an actual narcotic analgesic. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Are there any other questions or concerns?
