| 1 | Disc degenative disease in my back | Severe dizziness, nausea, rashes, eye pain.symptoms worse after each meal. Severe low mood, dry mouth, unable to concentrate, unable to work or drive. | Helped with pain but side effects too severe even on 100 mg. don't take this drug. | M | 44 | 1 months 300 | 9/29/2015 | 3 | cerival radiculopthy, sciatica, | Too many side effects. Ear Ezecema,zoned out,clumsy. Liver enzymes slighlty increased at 1200mg/day. Drug inhibits metabolism of vitamin D. Had low vitamin d. Off of drug and taking vitamin d. Ear Ezecema practically disappeared. | Really help radiculopthy. Dosing above 300mg/day is too much for me. Will never take it again. | F | 59 | 1 years 300-1200 | 9/13/2015 | 1 | Spinal surgery | I was hearing & seeing things that weren't there | Don't take it!!!! | M | 60 | 1 days 80 mg | 9/4/2015 | 4 | Complex migraine | Nausea - easily resolved with anti nausea medication. Insomnia - I have ADHD so even Benadryl has that effect. I started at 100 mg and titrated every 2 or 3 weeks after side effects faded completely at each dose level. | I had serious reservations adding this drug, but I am on low dose Depakote and this which has mitigated side effects. Migraines are down from nearly every day to 4-5 per month, and those go away with one dose of Imitrex (injection)! As an added bonus, I no longer have the awful breast pain and swelling I used to have every month which, for me, is reason enough to continue the medication! | F | 37 | 2 months 300 mg 1X day | 8/13/2015 | 4 | Anxiety, neuropathic pain(Lyme dis) | I never noticed any negative side effects, but I hear that it can be difficult to get off of it... Which is why I'm not going to go up any more on my dose. | It calmed me down from daily anxiety, and lessened the neuropathic pain I was experiencing in my legs. I kind of feel like I need to be on a higher dosage to achieve the complete benefit, but I am afraid to increase my dose because I hear it can be difficult to withdraw from... On especially bad days where I feel sick from Lyme treatment etc, sometimes I take my entire day's dosage (1800mg) all at once instead of spread out and that seems to really help during those times. | F | 26 | 1 years 600mg 3x | 8/8/2015 | 1 | Sleep deprivation and seizures | Vertigo. Extreme dizziness and vomiting. Finally, after several attempts to be tapered off the drug I was down to 900 mg. unfortunately, I fell and went back to the ER - this time with a broken leg, ankle and severe ligament and tendon problems. This drug has caused numerous problems in my life. I am athletic - have dealt with severe pain in surgeries before this occurred. I am concerned for myself as well as other patients. | F | 7 months 1500 mg | 7/30/2015 | 1 | My nerves in my hand | My hands shake and I drop everything I can't even use the phone but was on 400mg now I am on 600mg and that when the shaking started | F | 51 | 6 days | 7/27/2015 | 5 | Migraine Prevention | Very little, besides some tiredness and dry mouth when 1st starting. This subsided in a few weeks. | About a dozen previous migraine preventative medications were tried and did little. Hydrocodone/immitrex was the only treatment and those are expensive or not pleasant to take! This is not perfect, but reduces the frequency about 60%, greatly reducing the need for other meds and their side effects. Even though its not perfect it gets a five because it has negligible side effects and little tolerance and withdraw issues if ceasing. | M | 35 | 4 months 300 3X day | 7/25/2015 | 1 | Trigeminal neuralgia | I took this for jaw pain for about one month and experienced skin eruptions that were horribly itchy. It somewhat lessened jaw pain but would ever take it again. Weaning off of it now | F | 300mg 3X day | 7/14/2015 | 5 | Methadone withdrawal 80 mg | Took away all of the withdrawal symptoms...no cold sweats, no nausea, no diarrhea, I could function in a surprisingly positive way. | F | 29 | 8 days | 7/8/2015 | 5 | nueropothy in feet | Dry mouth just drank alot of water actually lost weight | Use for pain in legs and feet due to drug and alcohol abuse now sober pain got a lot worse now I am fine | M | 38 | 1 years 1800 | 7/1/2015 | 1 | Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome | Severe weight gain, hypothyroidism, swelling, blurred vision, drowsiness, depression, memory difficulty, dry mouth and mouth sores leading to several cavities, muted orgasms | This is the best drug I've ever taken for pain. It makes my nerve damaged leg and back feel better than they have since getting permanently injured years ago in an accident. However, the side effects are so bad that I need thyroid and depression medications plus lots of dental fillings. I'm too drowsy to work or drive. I'm being taken off the drug because the blissful pain relief just does not outweigh the debilitating side effects. | F | 26 | 1 years 600mg 3X day | 6/16/2015 | 1 | restless leg/shoulder pain | Dizziness, eye twinge, nausea, chest pains, flu like systems, blurred vision, severe mood swings, and deep depression. | Why would a doctor perscribe this for symptoms that are also side effects of this drug? | F | 54 | 3 months 300mg | 6/15/2015 | 1 | pinch nerve | Nightmares dreams were crazy | F | 53 | 5 days 200mg bid | 6/10/2015 | 5 | ulcerative colitis | Can't communicate my thoughts easily. Spaced out. Ringing in the ears. Dropping everything. Lots of weight gain and swelling of hands/feet. Marijuana intensifies the sife effects. | Worth it all. I was unable to eat or drink anything for 2 days, when I begged my doctor to try it. Not sure how it helps colitis pain (my guess is that it's nerve related...duh), but it definitely does! | F | 38 | 2 months 600 mg/3x | 5/29/2015 | 4 | neuropathic pain in legs | Puffy feet, swollen ankles, swollen calves | F | 73 | 10 years 1200mgs 3X day | 5/28/2015 | 5 | Neuropathy | I can walk without neuropathy in my knees due to surgery. Sleep is a plus. Kind of dizzy/loopy. | M | 37 | 10 months 300 mg. | 5/24/2015 | 5 | Trigeminal neuralgia | Worked wonders. Only came off it when symptoms stopped due to pregnancy | F | 30 | 1 years 2700 | 5/19/2015 | 4 | fibro | I was originally prescribed hundred mg. made me loopy drunk feeling. I call the doctor who put me on the liquid form which is only 50 mg. it has worked wonderful. I ran out of the liquid so popped a 100 mg capsule I had, and this time it did not make me loopy. I guess my body had to adjust to the hundred mg amount | F | 46 | 10 days 50 | 5/15/2015 | 3 | RA sciatica fibromyalgia pain | It did it's job the first few minutes I was very happy, that something was giving me much needed relief then it hit me solo hard I was very high, like drunk and high at same time I couldn't walk straight couldn't see straight. It was a very euphoric feeling but I'll never take it again. I need to be functional and alert at all times | I would suggest starting at lowest dose and increase only when you feel it's needed I'm gin back to 300mg | F | 38 | 1 days 400mg | 5/13/2015 |
