Gabopentin

Well, I'm three days into my Gabopentin treatment and I have to say that, so far, I'm really liking the results.

It has quelled the nervous systems issues I was having with pain flares and dizziness. But that's not even the best part of it. It's relaxed me and put me in a positive mood. Maybe that's a reaction to some of the cervical pain and pressure being lifted or maybe it's the drug itself but I feel more like my old self than I've felt in a year.

It's a small thing but I was able to lay back on the couch and watch a movie last night. Prior to Gabopentin I kind of hated watching anything too long because of the pain and pressure that would build in my head as I sat. This new drug seems to have relieved that. I was just able to lay back for two hours and watch.

I've also felt a little more ... amorous. It's been hard to keep my hands off my wife. Again, maybe that's a result of simply feeling normal again or maybe it's an artificial positive mood from the drug. I don't know. All I know is that the last two days are some of the best I've had in more than a year.

  1. Hi Sean,
    Im glad you were able to gain some relief! I was wondering what your dosage is? I was just prescribed gabapentin today. 100mg 2x/day.
    Thanks!
