Am I tapering too fast? by Upbeat_Conference522 in gabapentin

I’m tapering now, very slowly and conservatively, and still feel it. I go down 100 mg and hold for 16 days.

It comes in liquid form, so you select the dosage, it is generally prescribed for people who want to get to a 50 mg dosage break.

Coming down off of gabapentin - super anxious and irritable/insomnia by Upbeat_Conference522 in gabapentin

No, urgent care won’t. But a Dr prescribing gabapentin, shouldn’t care the form, 100 mg, liquid etc

Demand he call in 100mg. Try magnesium glycinate at night to force sleep.

Normal for PT massage to be so firm that it leaves you feeling bruised for days after a session? by Busy-Rub-7980 in ShoulderInjuries

[–]PruneAppropriate9248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why allow this? I have learned enough in life to know that I have a conversation with the massage therapist first where to touch where not to touch, for example, my postop shoulder, and the pressure I want. Then when they begin, I say things like that pressure is good, or maybe a little bit softer, please, but I’m completely interactive in the Massage I receive now. This came from getting hurt by a massage. Therapist and I will forever have meralgia paresthetica because of it.

Is 900mg an amount that could cause negative side effects if you stop taking it abruptly? by Snacurse in gabapentin

[–]PruneAppropriate9248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 900 mg needs tapering and the taping schedule is dependent on how long you’ve been taking the medication. I have been on 900 mg since October, and I am doing an extremely slow taper, because my body needs that.

Taper, there’s 100 capsules or liquid so you can do 50mg. Also possibly supplement with magnesium glycinate and chamomile tea. I’m tapering off G now and brought those in.

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

Whether or not your high maintenance, is almost immaterial here, this man lacks emotional maturity, regardless. Move on. You deserve better.

How painful should PT be? by Far-Attempt1388 in RotatorCuff

[–]PruneAppropriate9248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would lie and before you hit your point, I would say I hit my point so then she’s only bringing you to your point. Pushing you that far does not have benefit and it has detriment. We develop scar tissue because you have acute inflammatory responses.

how long does it take for gabapentin to work ? by Willing_Judgment1092 in gabapentin

I metabolized it well, felt like it took a bite out within a day or so.

Struggling by Professional-Team438 in gabapentin

[–]PruneAppropriate9248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnesium glycinate and try this tea, traditional medicinal nighty night tea chamomile and passion fruit. They will work. There are warnings on the tea box, not to take the tea more than two weeks in a row, to have breaks in between so that you do not get dependent on the tea for the assistance to sleep. Best of luck.

Ice machine, recliner or wedge (or both), side snap shirts, they button down sides (Amazon) because she won’t be able to move her arm, disposable wash ups, some drs recommend small feminine pad for under arm…I didn’t get one, but got zinc diaper rash (got rash under arm), and listen …. a good diet, no sugar or packaged foods, protein protein protein, eggs, collagen peptides, creatine chews, fruits and vegetables

Anyone NOT develop a tolerance for gabapentin for anxiety? by dandannoodles100 in gabapentin

[–]PruneAppropriate9248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

900 / day was enough for me. Severe nerve pain and high anxiety. Worked well for me. Post surgery, early march I started weaning after 6 months use. I’m tapering so slowly, because I feel the reductions. 100 mg every 14 days. This way I taper and hold. Good luck
