  1. That crap is worse than opioids and they've been trying to push it on pain sufferers as a replacment because of the "opioid crises". As if refusing to treat people in legitimate serious pain will have any positive effect on junkies shooting up fentanyl coming across the souther border.

  2. I was prescribe gabapentin for sciatica. It decreased the pain but I started having depressed moods, panic attacks, dizziness and headaches. The one thing I did was looked up for any drug interaction because I also take Requip for restless syndrome. Those two drugs can’t be taken together or with alcohol or cannabis

  3. I know this was 3 years ago but i was just prescribed Gabapentin for sciatica pain and i think its a herniated disc and ive been in excruciating pain suddenly. Ive been reading about it and kinda scared to continue. They say its not addictive but i don't believe that. Anything can be addictive. Ive only been on it a few days though 🙁

  4. I take Morphine and Gabapentin and can solidly confirm that i am still breathing. No medication is good for you neither is living with severe chronic pain for most it is not a choice nor all these meds but without them pain would be unmanageable.

  5. For me it's suboxone, gabapentin and alcohol daily. Sometimes I'll smoke a little bud but I'm not the massive stoner I was from 14-20. I hate being on these fuckin pills and booze, Suboxone withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal for me and gabapentin withdrawal makes me go insane like I was tweaking.

  6. I would take 12.000 milligrams of gabapentin a day. I do this cause it's the only meds that help but my immune system is so strong I get to take more to feel it.

  7. These people are not joking, I have been stuck on this hell drug for 10 years and I was wondering why I was having problems getting my breath, I though it was asthma, not so. The drug is insidious and sneaky. You wake up gasping for air and do not know why. Oh and it gets better, wake up with horrible dry mouth, and then dental problems. Then you say I hate this drug, you try to get off it, and when you do, feeling of life is not worth living, I am better off dead, and when will the world end, oh but then, you remember that you did not take this drug, and in 30 minutes the feelings go away. So! Horrible side effects if you take it, and horrible side effects if you do not take it. You will no craving for it, you will even forget to take it. Still more good news (sarcasm), now they have discovered it can cause full blown Rhabdomyolysis, a disease that causes your muscles to waste away, then kidney failure and death. It is rare, BUT, I have notice over the last ten years a slow insidious muscle wasting, I used to have pretty good muscles. Now I notices they are thin, still no kidney problems, but it seems it can cause slow muscles wasting away, and now I have noticed that my joints are wasting away. There are no family history of these problems, we are strong people until our 80s. Still more! Forget trying to find you car keys, or a tool you set down, short term memory lose is horrible. I keep praying for a class action lawsuit for this demon drug. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

  8. I take gabapentin 1,200mg daily in divided doses for neuralgia type headaches. It doesn’t do much for the pain but it turns me into a comedian! ❤️‍🔥🌕🔥 I want even more of it, YOLO!! 🤣🤣🤣 Man! I’m tellin’ ya’ ppl, if it stimulates GABA, you can reinvent yourself on this, it kinda helps with inhibitions! It also helps promote dopamine! 😇😘🤩 For me it’s like really low dose benzodiazepines but without their issues. Been on benzos for 25 years, got off of them once and for all in May 2022! Gabapentin actually helps a lot if you are off benzodiazepines from long term use. 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊

  9. My mother has taken this drug for about 7 years after for her rare autoimmune condition which causes severe neuropathy in her back and legs. Initially she was fine but over the years she has developed severe sleepiness at random times in the day a lot of confusion and forgetfullnes. On the rare occasion she doesnt take it for a few days she seems much sharper and much more like herself also it has now started causing her depression and slurred speech. She is 70 years old and i am very worried not 1 Dr explained about these side effects or offered any alternative medication in fact all the Neurologists we spoke said this was the newest best and first line drug for her condition. It seems this thing has become a necessary evil in her life.

  10. I was on it for 10 years no problem. But i have weened of drugs. Tired of making big pharma rich. Tired of the government not letting my doctors treat me. Medicade doctors are restricted from prescribing pain meds. We are all not drug addicts. I tell the truth in ER they still run drug panel. I am 64. I never did drugs in school. Why? I didn't want to be a drug addict. Same for not drinking. I didn't want to be an alcoholic. I saw other peoples lives rot away. I never saw a joint until i was a senior. No i had no desire to even go there. You can't get pain pills for a bad spinal cord. But your dog can. They get better treatment then people. There chattel property or are we to the government.

  11. I’ve never seen any reports or literatures of rupture of tendons and ligaments due to muscle wasting induced by Lyrica, but I tore many tendons and ligaments. I took Lyrica for a month only.

  12. "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli celebrates CHIRON the Asclepian SPIRIT
    of Psychiatry, and, the other audiobook celebrates the Vindication of TRUTH
    "THE TWO BABYLONS." by Alexander Hislop. Two audiobooks, if you are
    interested in very deep spiritual matters.

  13. what about 100 mg for my cat???? are you serious it can kill him? my vet prescribed it for his anxiety for a long road trip and now i'm scared to use it…. someone help. i leave in 2 days…

  14. I've been on pregabalin for about 10 years, and now I'm fat and have brain fog. I blame the pregabalin for a part of it.

    I'm on my way to taper it out.. not because it doesn't work, but because I'm sick of all the damn side effects you get from it. So I've chosen to get rid of it. I have given myself time to taper down and get used to the lower strengths.. I have 2 more strengths to go down to before I can finally quit.

  15. If taking Suboxone and pregabalin, then you could get central sleep apnea where your oxygen saturation deeps down at night. A bipap might be needed. If combining opioids and gabapentin or pregabalin get an SpO2 monitor with an alarm function to vibrate if oxygen gets too low. My cousin's spO2 deeps to 80% at night.

  16. … here comes the Democratic-Republican media's not see's re-politique of good medicine, again.
    LEAVE the anguished patients ALONE, ya malicious clods!

    Sensationalizing misery. Yer a pack of lousy pervs. And I'm being nice to ya bums.
    Just wait until you miserable hypocrites face medical malaise…and the creeps ditch-out your good medicine. Disgraced & disgusting.

  17. To everyone getting scared from this video please follow your doctor's advise. He or she is the specialist. Maybe you do need this drug and maybe you don't have any side effects. Every body is different. Maybe it will not harm you in small dosage. Don't just sit in pain and follow what your doctor advise you. Internet is full of these scare tactics regarding every drug even vitamins.

  18. Doctors prescribing this crap for anything at all really . Pain sucks but if you dont really have actuall pain then stop being a deush bag pill popper. Screws up your mind and your organs. Smoke a joint if you've just got to be high . Or maybe just take bath , go get a massage ,watch a movie , its probably cheaper.

  19. Oh Great. Been on Gabapentin for idiopathic nerve damage in feet. The pain is brutal for me. I want to switch to Pregabalin because I was told it’s more effective with less dosage. But I have noticed breathing problems lately. Ugh!

  20. There will be a clas action lawsuit against Lyrica. No doubt.
    Because I am done with this endless cycle of Pharmaceutical companies peddling allegedy non- addictive drugs on people in pain.
    This is Oxycodone 2.0, but worse.
    For Pfizer. Who now deny making it and are pushing the blame on some obscure company. Arrogant fools.
    I only take 150mg for nerve pain.
    I cannot get off it even with a slow taper.
    I have never been hooked on drugs in my life.
    Oh and don't listen to your doctor if they try to convince to take it.
    The doctor does not always know best as they say.

  21. What a bunch of liars, the fda and nih and all those alphabet Bois only want to help us and make us feel good! Why would they want to hurt us? Trust the science
