In a seminal trial on pain following shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia), the target dose of gabapentin was 900 mg four times daily. However, the data to support these off-label uses of gabapentin are mixed, especially for long-term use. The rise in gabapentin prescribing is multifactorial but thought to be due in part to efforts by the pharmaceutical industry to promote the use of the medication for off-label uses. Long story short me and my boyfriend are being forced to decide to 1.) live with our cat that may continue to harm me/us without warning 2.) use gabapentin (a seizure / sedative medication) for the rest of his life or 3.) euthanasia. We have been struggling with this for about 15 days now since the last attack. Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking gabapentin: More common in children. Some side effects of gabapentin may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. I was prescribed Gabapentin because it’s a healthier long term medicine on your kidneys than taking Ibuprofen everyday. That being said I stopped taking it after a couple months because I felt no improvement or change. Everyone’s symptoms and comorbidities are different, so treatments are different too. I attributed nearly all of it to ptsd or a possible TBI, or honestly just blamed myself for being lazy or not proactive enough to be healthy. But I was talking to my doctor about it this morning (she’s new to me) and she brought up that these are all effects of long-term gabapentin use. What are people's experiences using gabapentin long term? I started developing unpredictable nerve pain in my left leg early last year. Over time it spread up the left side of my body, then jumped to include my right side as well. 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.

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. Is gabapentin safe for long term use? I’ve been on it for seven years. Only recently did I get off of it because I’m pregnant. But I was taking 2400 a day. No complaints. All I know is that when I took gabapentin for 8 years my cognitive function was DESTROYED. Literally couldn't firm complex thoughts on it to save my life.

This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. I was taking 1800 mg of gabapentin for 8 months or so and stopped CT without any withdrawal but not rly the point. Withdrawals are not something that would necessarily scare me away from using a medication unless it’s not going to work long term and isn’t worth it. If it is goes to work long term idgaf about withdrawals.

This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. We call on NICE to re-evaluate their support for use of pregabalin in anxiety in light of its known harms. The use of gabapentinoids off-label for other psychiatric conditions should also be re-considered. In general, psychotropic medications require longer term efficacy and safety studies before allowing widespread use. I switched from 2mg a day of Xanax to 1200mg a day of gabapentin. It has been 4 months on the gaba. Is there any downsides to long term use? I was told that Xanax definitely carried some negative’s in the long term so my doc switched me to gabapentin. Is 1200mg a day a lot? gabapentin is incredibly safe long term. just know that if your vet is suggesting your dog take something long term they would've weighted the risks! that being said gabapentin is an incredibly safe drug. know so many dogs that have been on it for life. Early effects were balance and loss of short term memory, #1 effect is ongoing and #2 has largely dissipated. Long term use increases dementia risk 70%, but I need 1800 mg/day to not have horrid effects. I just got prescribed 300mg of Gabapentin 3x a day, with the possibility to increase to 4x a day if needed. This is for long term management of anxiety but reading about everyone’s experience online is really stressing me out. I have had severe generalized anxiety for my entire life and have not responded well to any SSRI SNRI or Buspar. Gabapentin can be a valuable tool in managing various health conditions, but long-term use comes with potential risks. From physical side effects like weight gain and fatigue to cognitive and emotional challenges, it’s essential to be aware of how this medication may affect you over time. I found that when I was taking Klonopin for anxiety due to trauma event that has caused long term PTSD, it had a rebound effect each afternoon when it was wearing off. I was finally able to stop that medication after six years.
