Generic Name: Gabapentin for Transverse Myelitis (gabapentin)

Gabapentin for Transverse Myelitis Reviews

"My max dosage was 300mg 3xdaily, it eased the worst of the neuralgia(stinging and burning) and even the numb/tingling sensation. However, it interacted poorly with all other medications I took. I could not mix it with Baclofen nor ANY OTC allergy medicines that were effective for me. Outside of medication interaction I had one side effect; not being able to orgasm, which was hard enough due the lack of normal sensation I have. I did discontinue the Gabapentin but only because I needed effective allergy control more than I wanted neuro pain management."


"I am on 3600 mg of gabapentin the max dose. 900mg 3 x a day. Nothing works for my illness but this dampens it down. On top of this I have morphine patches and sodium valproate tabs max. The worst side affect and there are many is electric shocks all over the body and chest pain. It's a living nightmare but what's available through the UK NHS doctors bible is better than nothing. I don't pay for my drugs."


"Use gabapentin 300 MG 3 X day ! It help ease the tingling and burning but also makes me sleepy!"
