i have been in gabapentin for a little over one month. the VA started me at 300 tid, then 400, then 600, and now i am at 800 tid. i have definitely gained some fat but i so stay very active and eat consciously. my pain and anxiety are definitely lower and my sleep has greatly improved. i was prescribed gabapentin to stay off alcohol and phenibut Give Gabapentin a go, hopefully it helps. If you end up getting unwanted side effects then you can always try Pregabalin instead. It does the same job, see what works for you. I have been on gabapentin since my MS dx in 2015I now take 600mg 3’x/day and I can’t tell you at this point what difference it makes! I would have to go off of it to see what results there would be. Gabapentin needs to be taken with lots of fat and sugar and needs to be dosed in spaces, while Pregabalin needs to be taken on an empty stomach and all at once I liked Pregabalin a bit more, very clearheaded and euphoric in contrast to benzos, the traits a bit stronger than Gabapentin. Gabapentin is really in a class of its own.. I'd call it a disbenzopiate haha. It has the warmth and optimism that you get from opiates with a nice anxiolytic effect on par with Xanax. That's great and all but the real reason I use Gabapentin is for the dissociative effects. It feels very much like MXE if you've ever done that. Gabapentin is a nerve drug and works to calm overactive nerves. Baclofen is a muscle drug the works to lessen over active muscles causing spasms. As these drugs become less effective the doctor will increase the dose till they are effective. My gabapentin dose is 900mg x 3, my baclofen is 15/20/15/20 mg. I have taken Gabapentin for around 10 years - I usually take two doses a day. My prescription says 3x daily, but my Doctor says one or two, and then "as needed." The as needed is when I get severe sharp nerve pain - like stabbing in my feet (usually). Gabapentin has spread to every corner of health care, when before it was MS, diabetes, mental health, epilepsy. Now that doctors are afraid to prescribe low dose opioids. This is the case in orthopedics. They think Gabapentin is a wonder drug. Every corner thinks Gabapentin is THE miracle drug with ZERO issues of abuse. And completely safe Gabapentin helps manage multiple sclerosis symptoms, including nerve pain, seizures, and muscle spasms, by regulating neurotransmitters and reducing inflammation, offering relief for MS patients with neuropathic pain and tremors. Discover gabapentin secrets for effective MS management, including nerve pain relief, symptom control, and treatment strategies, to improve multiple sclerosis care and therapy outcomes with this medication. I’m a bipolar bear too. Just in the process of getting fully diagnosed with MS now. I’m already on duloxetine, but I don’t think it’s helping my nerve pain at all. My hands are constantly burning. I can’t wait to see the MS clinic. I wish us all luck. A forum to post questions, answers and discussion about general medications not specifically for multiple sclerosis, such as prednisone, painkillers, etc. Gabapentin is helpful to some people with specific pain problems as many in the comments are suggesting. However if you are getting TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to treat depression and/or anxiety keep in mind gabapentin can actually reduce the efficacy of the treatment. Gabapentin Uses for Pain Control Gabapentin is used to treat partial seizures that occur with epilepsy and nerve pain resulting from nerve damage such as: Postherpetic neuralgia, a type of nerve pain caused by shingles Diabetic neuropathy, a burning pain in the feet caused by nerve damage from diabetes Gabapentin is prescribed for long-term Gabapentin is not approved for use in MS in the U.S., but is often used off-label to manage symptoms such as nerve pain and spasticity. My new neurologist is encouraging me to take gabapentin regularly (before I’d only take it when the burning in my legs prevented sleep). Generally, I’m not trying to take a ton of prescription meds, but if it’s better to take it regularly and might help with pain, then maybe? Has anyone had luck with Gabapentin? I'm about to start taking it for a constant slightly painful buzzing/tingling in my legs below the knees. It's so weird even loud noises ramp the intensity up a notch. Been so difficult with my intense 5 yo around lately. Gabapentin for MS symptoms, including nerve pain and spasticity, offers relief through neurotransmitter regulation, aiding multiple sclerosis management and treatment, reducing neuropathic pain. I have spine injuries, and I absolutely get the symptoms you're describing depending on what position I'm in. Walking on a level surface seems to improve them. My MS doctor says the nerve issues are because of the injuries, not MS, and has sent me to a neurosurgeon to consult about treatments. For sure. I trawled this subreddit a lot when I was going through my flare-ups, and pre- and post-diagnosis. For such an open and supportive community, it's only natural that a lot of posts would come from people who need that support the most.
