Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Dear Ladies, Neurontin like Depakote and Lamictal are antiseizure meds effective in stabilizing abnormal activity of the temporal lobe of the brain responsible for memory and temper. Smart pill from www.novus-optimum.com (recommended by connie dello buono) are brain food from natural food sources that feeds the temp lobe of the brain. Here are some other activities to feed the temp lobe (from the book Change your brain, change your life by Amen, MD): 1. create a library of wonderful experience.note: here I should add that we should not be in an unhappy/unhealthy relationship.2. sing whenever/wherever you can.3. use humming and toning to tune up the brain.4. listen to classical music.5. learn to play musical instrument.6. move in rhythms.7. get enough sleep.8. consider brain food/meds: fish/omega, high-protein-low-simple-carbo for obsession and equal complex carbo-protein for depression. 9. get enough sleep: also feeds the pituitary gland and helps in balancing our hormones.10. eliminate toxins/preservatives/caffeine/nicotine and others...11. try mind-body and bio-feedback...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hi, I tried Neurontin Creme, but it burned so badly, I only used it a few times. I am so leary these days about topicals!! Alison CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 HI : No, I haven't heard of Neurontin used the same way, (cream form) but it sure makes sense and it would be 'site' specific. Thanks. Dee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alcohols burn the raw skin. You would have much less systemic absorption with the cream and maybe you can use it while pregnant (check with your doctor).

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Lona, I am on it and has worked wonders for me. I felt a big difference in about 2 weeks. I do have flare ups, but usually because something has aggravated the area, like soap. I also found that washing ( put on like a conditioner) with vidial sasson conditioner instead of soap, has helped my skin get healthy and I smell clean longer then if I would have used soap. I found that for some reason, it doesn't irritate, it actually feels good. I am happy with my results taking Neurontin, good luck, hope it works a good for you too.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 I am on 900 mg. I take 300 mg 3 times a day. It could also be a combination that I also get internal PT with a PT who specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction. I also have a biofeedback unit I use at home.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 It doesn't make me sleepy at all, it first felt to me like I was on a pain medication that numbed, but you can still feel. I could feel alot less pain even from my everyday aches and pains. It was more noticible in my lips first, it would have a slight feeling of being numb, but really wasn't. The minite you move your lips, if felt normal. That went away about 3 weeks after starting meds. Ter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 How many milligrams worked for you? I'm up to 3,600 and it's doing nothing, and my doctor wants me to keep going up. She says that some women react this way to it, and all of a sudden a certain dosage works. Thanks for your help! -- --- tachock@... wrote: > Lona, > > I am on it and has worked wonders for me.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Hi, Just to let everyone know I have a friend in North Carolina who used Neurontin, was cured. She was on 1600 mg./day. After using it for 4 months, she was 100% again. 1 year later, she quit using Neurontin and has not needed it again. Unfortunately, it did not work for me at all. I was at 1800 mg. - I tried it for 2 months, felt nothing at all so I just stopped! Seema > > Lona, > > > > I am on it and has worked wonders for me. I felt a > > big difference in about 2 > > weeks.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Neurontin (generic name gabapentin) is an anti-convulsant. It was originally designed to treat epilepsy, and I believe it is still used for that purpose, as well as for neuropathic pain. For more info, go to: www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/gabapent_wcp.htm Be sure to check out some of the other clicks on the bar that runs across the top of the page.
