Gabapentin

What’s this used for? I’m on Vraylar 1.3 and gabapentin now after today’s hour long Pdoc appointment trying to find me meds I haven’t already reacted to or could react to. My Pdoc said if this combo doesn’t work I’ll have to think about ect. The end of the road. Clozaril is the last ditch effort and I can’t even take that! What’s gabapentin used for besides anxiety? I’m already on klonopin.

My friend used to be a behavioral pharmacologist and worked with this drug. He says it’s safe. It’s an anticonvulsant.

I took it a while ago and I feel fine. No side effects.

I take gabapentin at night, it helps with staying asleep. A cousin of mine was on it to help with nerve pain but at a much higher dose.

One of my doctors wanted to put me on it for pain issues to help me relax some muscles but I didn't want to deal with the side effects.

Yes there’s a lot of human drugs that are adapted so cats and dogs can take them, allergy meds, benzos, antidepressants. When I worked at the shelter I was surprised at the number of drugs that were used, but at a much lower dose. I used to give my car benzos before a long car ride but stopped cause he didn’t need them. He was a fantastic traveler

There are a lot of serious drug interactions with gabapentin. Opioids, morphine, Benadryl…. I’ll have to look it up!
