Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Welcome, Amy! I really, really feel for you regarding your over-the-cubicle tormentor. Actually, you mentioned one of my big triggers: the sound made when people scrape plastic containers for every last bit of food. Drives me up the WALL. I used to sit near someone who did that; when he'd have his snack, all I could think about was giving him a small rubber spatula so he could get ALLLLL his yogurt without making that ungodly sound. My current cubicle neighbor eats noodles out of a plastic container with chopsticks, and it makes a very similar sound. ScrapeScrapeScrapeKILL. UGH!! Thank God for iPods and earplugs, huh?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Does anyone know if there is a rebound effect with gabapentin (neurontin)? I started taking it, and it was wonderful. After a few weeks, my soreness and achiness has intensified. So I don't know if I am getting worse, or if it could be the gabapentin. Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Olnisa...you have to be careful with Neurontin it can cause drug induced Lupus. I know it did in me. Make sure you have liver function studies done at least every other month. They will tell you if you have developed it. If you have it usually goes away when you stop the medication. Mine did. You might want to talk to your dr. about that chance and see what they have to say. Keep us posted. I wish you all the best with it. Blessed Be...De A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE...IT ONLY WORKS WHEN IT'S OPEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
