Does anyone use gabapentin for stiffness and dies it help? Ive been waking up in the morning so stiff. Also at night its hard for me to turn over or move around in bed. Its like everything has stiffened up.
Anyone?
I have also been on it, for a long time.
I have Ms, fibro, and severe migraines -
It helps all of them .
From my understanding - it alters the
brain-chemistry, much like antidepressants.
So, it decreases the pain - by decreasing our overactive brain & immune system.
Don't be afraid to give it a try.
I think you'll be happy that you did. ♡
My neurologist has me on a significant dose -
900 mg twice a day & a 3rd - 900mg dose,
mid-day, if needed
I hope it helps - then, you will be able to enjoy the Holidays more. ♡
I take it, helps with the stiffness but makes my spasms 10 times as bad. I have four kids and work nights so I am still trying to figure the proper dosage for me. If u take it to late I feel drunk in the morning (not good when I have to drive the kids to school) or does help me sleep, but I have noticed in almost in a haze
I recently started taking it. Can't feel my toes and sometimes my feet go out. My ms has reached the bottom of my spine so the vertibrates that control my feet and legs are going crazy. They gave me the meds so the can get my nerves regulated. I have noticed it helps, and the best thing is now if i have a fall I can just call him and he c an help. Bears going to the dr and having the wait
I take 3600mg daily!
