Gabapentin for Syringomyelia: Uses, Side Effects, Warnings, and Dosing Information

Related User Reviews for Side Effects

I would take it again, It cleared up my infection and the side effects are mild (to me).

This medication had totally changed my life- a dry mouth is a minor side effect for the advantages it's given me. No more sweat dripping down my face and neck, no more stares and people asking me if I'm ok instead I can go out with confidence without a scarlet face and wear make up again. I only wish I was prescribed it 20 years ago.

My doctor told me to take this even during my period. I had the clumps as well. You can only imagine how freaked out I was. I had no side effects while I was on metrogel other than the clumps, but then 2 or 3 days after I finished, it was like cayenne pepper was rubbed on my vagina. The burning and itching is a b***h. Its one week later and I'm still burning and itching. Seems like the only thing this gel is good for is getting rid of the smell.

The doctor prescribed this antidepressant to help me with situational depression and osteoarthritis. I couldn't take it due to the horrible side effects. It took a few days to get Cymbalta out of my system. I never made it to a second dose. Nothing and I mean nothing would make me take a second dose of this drug. I have switched to Lexapro and so far I've had fewer side effects. I have a small frame and I was able to cut the Lexapro in 1/4's to take a smaller dose. You can't cut a capsule of Cymbalta in half. I am taking 2.5 mgs of Lexapro in the morning and sleeping great at night. This weekend I am upping the dose to the 5 mgs. Hope it works.

I didn't realize my Dr. had put me back on Norvasc as it was a generic name. Last time I was on it, I had repeated gum infections, pain for weeks after any dental work now I have the same again! All my back molars ache with a dull pain in my gums. Other side effects: ringing in ears, headache, pounding heart, pain in legs, weight gain, depression, sore throat and pain in glands. I am stopping it today! This drug is banned in the Netherlands - it should be taken off the market! My poor body is worn out with side effects from drugs! I often wish the drug companies & Drs. had to try these awful drugs themselves as they do not believe it when you list the pain and discomfort they cause.
