Re: start neurontin, stop Soma!!!

[Guest guest]

What I finally learned is that a nurse only has to 'give the bad news', not

be affected by it. With my Rummy I had to fire, he and she didn't care what

I was going through, I simply had to stop taking meds and suffer if I wanted

to. That's an absolute horrendous attitude that shouldn't be allowed or

practiced.

Neurontin is designed for causing muscle spasms to be diminished, and is

usually prescribed along with a muscle relaxer, i.e. Soma. I've taken it on

2 separate occasions, but it's almost like Soma. Most of them are duds, but

once in a while, one really works! It will make you a slobbering idiot. I

don't know why they are so unpredictable, but they are. One time in the

hospital, I was given Tylenol III, I think, and it worked every time.

I thought neurontin was used for nerve pain, seizure disorders and

some depressive or anxiety disorders.. i have never heard of it

being used for spasms.. that may be something new.

I took Neurontin for neuropathy for about 3 months, the time I was told would be

needed for me to get results. I is supposed to build up. Nothing was said to

me about muscle relaxants. But it did nothing for me. Talk about

Rheumatologist, mine said " oh, you have neuropathy. My mother had that and it

will just get worse " . I dropped him about as fast as I did the Neurontin.

Tylenol 3 also helps me.
