Interesting option, and only 37.5% needed opioids when on the highest amount (3,600 mg a day—a large amount).

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I take Gabapentin for hip pain and it’s very effective but makes me sleepy.

I needed back surgery to trim the protrusion on a ruptured L4/L5 disc - which was impinging on a nerve bundle and giving me excruciating sciatica. I mean disabling pain. A neurological surgeon who ultimately fixed the problem recommended Gabapentin and it worked in the month before surgery, attenuating the pain by 95%. I think I was using 3 300mg capsules a day. I stopped the day before surgery and never used it again, as the surgery was the perfect solution. In my experience Gabapentin is an impressive and effective pharmaceutical.

Gabepentin gives quite a bit of brain fog.

There was another thread about Gabapentin this morning.

I was on Gabapentin for a brief time, until the insurance finally approved Lyrica.

I was on Lyrica for a year and a half. Still have nerve problems.

Mucositis is a big problem as it is painful to eat. Super important to eat during cancer combat.

And mixing gabapentin and opioids is a thing:
