Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 http://www.medsave.com/discountRxcard.htm This is a free benefit from MedSave.com as a "Thank You" to the thousands of users over our past five years in business who have recommended our service to their friends and relatives. Please note that MedSave.com health insurance plans have a better built-in prescription benefits so use this discount card only if you do not have any other Rx plan. (This free plan is not as valuable as the Rx plan built into comprehensive medical plans but the price is right and any cash discount is better than no discount at all!). If your current insurance does not cover prescription drugs, you have no insurance or you are a Medicare participant, now you can save up to 60% on your prescription drugs. (Discounts may vary from 10% to 60% but will probably average about 20% based on our own observations. The actual contract price of each drug is renegotiated frequently by the manufacturers so we really do not know the amount of the network discount until we use the plan).

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 How many times a day are you taking it and at what dosage? When my pain mgmt dr prescribed it, he told me to take 1 300mg capsule at bedtime for 3-5 days, then 1 capsule twice a day for 3-5 days and then increase it to 1 capsule 3x a day. I took a bit longer to adjust so I went 1 capsule for a week, then added a second capsule. I never got to the point where I could handle three capsules a day so I stuck with twice a day which worked for me while I was on it. and the gang -- jacdobe@...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Steve, I'm on 600mg 3 times a day and had to start at 300mgs 3 x's a day and increase after a couple of weeks so I wouldn't get drowsy, which I don't. What you're on seems like a humungus dose to start with. I think you might need to work up to that amt and maybe divide it into 3 doses. My dosage helps me a lot. Good luck, Kate From: Steve Ackron Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 1:52 PM spinal problems Subject: Re: med help I am on 1200mg at 200pm and aonther 1200mg at bed it dose help me sleep also. the side affect of off balance and foggy feel went away with two to three week. It help me alot and I still on it I also on lamotrigine which is also a sizurer med. I take that in the morning and it help with pain and helps with moodys swings do to the chronic pain. If you are jsut start neurontin/gabapentine stick with it it will help. I start ramping up slow also Steve > I have been on neurontin for about a week now, and I am so sleepy I can't stand it!

I did have side affext to start with but that was 3 years ago. I was repling to someone who was having side affect to encoruage them to stick with it. That;s really not that much you can go up to 3600mg which pain doctor tolld me. and very happy with what the med has done for me . I have a very bad chronic pain in several area of my body due a mult-injury while in the line of due. Who ever starting the med stick with it it dose work.
