Its a non-essential amino acid. Its a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Its been shown to have profound healing effects on the brain, the lungs, the liver and kidneys. Its been shown to combat the effects of oxidative stress that occurs with abuse of drugs, or damage from physical injurys. I was skeptical, but i bought some anyway. Was on a lot of drugs just 2 months ago, off of everything but gabapentin now, and tapering off of it. Was on 1600mg a day at one point, taken all in the span of several hours tapered, using aleve as a potentiator. Safe to say my anxiety is through the fucking roof. I know that traditional benzos can cause permanent damage, is gabapentin similar? Patient Forums for Gabapentin. Part of the Brain and nerves category. Symptom, treatment and advice from community members. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. Gabapentin may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and dizziness. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and seek medical attention if experiencing serious side effects or changes in mood or behavior. Gabapentin is prescribed by healthcare professionals and should only be taken under medical supervision. Gabapentin can cause brain damage to my understanding based on new studies that are coming out. It causes the calcium gateways to lose their conductivity. These calcium gateways allow brain synapses to communicate with each other via this calcium pathway. The most common gabapentin (Neurontin) side effects are dizziness and drowsiness. This may affect your ability to drive or perform other activities. Other gabapentin side effects include edema (fluid buildup), weight gain, and eye problems, but these aren’t as common. I had a brain condition that cut off the blood supply to my teeth and caused my bones in my neck to slide (EDS - Chiari - Vertebral basilary insufficiency) and after having brain decomp and my neck screwed back together my teeth started abcessing in huge sections. Posted by u/AnxiousWanker - 5 votes and 8 comments But recently I've read some studies about gabapentin possibly having long-term negative effects on the brain. Some papers say that it's bad for children and fetuses because it blocks synaptogenesis, but safe for adults because mature brains don't really form new synapses. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Every drug can damage your brain, but cns depressants are the worst. Go spend some time in r/benzorecovery . Benzos are worse than gabapentin obviously so that's more of a worst case scenario. My reason for the gabapentin is nerve damage from a fall. I got up to quickly from laying down and fell on my left side. I cracked 2 ribs. About a week later the whole side of my leg went numb from hip to foot. There is still some numbness there. I tried to cut back on gabapentin. Very possible for a non-fatal overdose to cause permanent brain damage. And with chronic hypoxia like that in the case of sleep apnea sufferers, I've read brain damage is reversible over time with treatment, a cpap/bipap. While the evidence suggests that gabapentin alone does not cause memory loss, it can lead to brain fog or minor confusion. However, combining gabapentin with other drugs like baclofen can result in significant memory loss and impairment. I took 600 mg, occasionally higher, for sleep for almost two years. I don’t take it anymore, but I’m worried it’s permanently damaged my brain. I was Experts believe gabapentin may cause brain cells to produce more of a chemical called GABA, which reduces abnormal electrical activity of brain cells. In people experiencing nerve pain after having had shingles, gabapentin is thought to change the way pain signals are sent through the body and brain. Gabapentin can be an effective treatment for brain damage symptoms such as neuropathy, seizures, and autonomic dysfunction. However, it is not without side effects or risks. Therefore, consult with your doctor carefully before trying it, and alert your doctor immediately if any side effects appear. The new work also pinpoints, for the first time, the biochemical mechanism by which the widely prescribed drug gabapentin (also marketed under the trade name Neurontin) works. "We have solved the longstanding mystery of how this blockbuster drug acts," said Ben Barres, MD, PhD, professor and chair of neurobiology. The study shows that
