None developed connective tissue disease during follow-up. Raynaud’s disease was present for a mean (SD) of 9 (18) years. Raynaud’s disease was present in the fingers alone in 7 patients; in fingers and toes in 3 patients; and in fingers, toes, and the face in 1 patient. Syncope occurred simultaneously with or was preceded by RP in 10 patients. Neurontin (gabapentin) "After being diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy 6 years ago, I have tried many different types of drugs and other therapies to ease the burning, tingling chronic pain that I have. Neurontin seems to work the best for me. I take Neurontin in order to manage my pain. Depression, chronic pain, cervical stenosis, fibromyalgia, migraines, essential tremor, Raynaud phenomenon Topical steroids, topical clindamycin Gabapentin, combination cream of ketamine, 15%/amitriptyline, 5%/clonidine, 0.2%/ketoprofen, 10% A recent article in Arthritis Today – the magazine of the Arthritis Foundation – offers seven ways to prevent Raynaud’s syndrome attacks: Try these seven ways to prevent Raynaud’s syndrome attacks. By Brenda Goodman Arthritis Today www.arthritis.org If you’re among the estimated 20 to 30 percent of people with inflammatory arthritis who also have Raynaud’s [] I have been so cold that half my tongue turned blue. Because of Raynaud's I have had 2 digital ischemias and two partial finger amputations. And I am currently dealing with 2 finger ulcers. The nerve pain is so bad it radiates to my upper arm. The pain in my hands is like pins and needles all over my finger tips and down the fingers. Normal blood flow is restored to your fingers and toes, feet or ankles. There are other, newer prescription medications that can treat ulcerations from more severe Raynaud’s, and topical creams to treat mild symptoms. Don’t take OTC meds that contain pseudoephedrine, because it can trigger Raynaud’s symptoms. Raynaud's: I do not have any experience with Gabapentin for this disease which is due to vasodilatation of the peripheral vessels. This results in blue, painful cold digits. It is exacerbated by nicotine. Raynaud phenomenon of the nipple successfully treated with nifedipine and gabapentin. Pain / etiology Summary: Raynaud's phenomenon is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 50-59 old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Xyrem, and have Narcolepsy. Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is caused by vasospasm induced by cold temperature or emotional stress. Most patients with RP have mild symptoms. Mild RP manifests clinically by discomfort and sharply demarcated color changes of the skin of the digits (eg, fingers, toes). Generic Name Gabapentin DrugBank Accession Number DB00996 Background. Gabapentin is a structural analogue of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid that was first approved for use in the United States in 1993. 16 It was originally developed as a novel anti-epileptic for the treatment of certain types of seizures 14,5 - today it is also widely used to treat neuropathic pain. 8 Drug‐induced Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) has long been associated with the use of different drugs, including cancer chemotherapy or β‐adrenoceptor blockers. However, sources report extremely variable prevalence and the level of evidence for each class For some Raynaud’s sufferers, these types of drugs may lessen the frequency or severity of attacks. For others, however, calcium channel blockers may not be an option as they can have serious side effects like low blood pressure, slowed heart rate, and lightheadedness. Doubtful: raynaud's phenomena is due to irritable arteries that spasm and gabapentin is a drug for twitchy nerves. There is some overlap but different drugs are generally used for each. vasodilators are the more common treatment for raynaud's Multiple classes of medications have been studied for the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) with or without digital ischemia. The goal of this review is to discuss the outcomes of recent studies and to report on our approach to the management of RP in light of the available evidence. First-choice medication for Raynaud’s often involves dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs) — like amlodipine or nifedipine. Data shows that CCBs can decrease the number of Raynaud’s attacks by about three episodes per week. CCBs can also make attacks shorter and less painful. I don’t have scleroderma or similar condition, I suffer only from Raynaud’s but I was wondering if some people with scleroderma who used Gabapentin (Neurontin) have seen any noticeable changes in severity of their Raynaud’s symptoms. Compare risks and benefits of common medications used for Raynaud's Syndrome. Find the most popular drugs, view ratings and user reviews. Gabapentin is used in the relief of symptoms of peripheral arterial disease when raynaud's occurs with erythromalgia. Erythromelalgia can co-exist with raynaud's, and sometimes can be confused with one another. A doctor prescribed Gabapentin for nerve pain related to herniated discs. A very pleasant surprise was it also helped reduce the Reynaud’s flares! I reported this to him and we experimented with doses. 300mg of Gabapentin helped w Reynaud’s during the coldest winter months here in NYC.
