3 | Shingles back and breast pain | Dizzy off balance in morning | Helps but have 2 week pack that goes up to 1800 last dose. I am 115 lbs afraid to take that dose. Feeling iff balance with 600mg | F | 66 | 0 days 600 1X day | 9/4/2021 | 5 | Nerve pain neck and back | Walking zombie in the mornings- Sometimes emotional crying | It helps but my one major concern is the addiction part. I was so happy to be taking Gralise and it helping ALOT until I found out you can become addicted and also you will have withdrawals if you try to get off them. I attempted to quit taking them one night and I was up all night with pretty bad pain so I finally took ONE at 5 a.m. in the morning. I couldn't stand it anymore. So I'm a little pissed off I probably won't be able to stop taking until I have a week to plan the suffering. I'm a little pissed that these doctors don't tell patients they will go through withdrawals if they attempt to quit. If you haven't taken Gralise yet I recommend you don't take that 1st pill but I also understand it gets so exhausting having pain 24/7-- I just don't know what to do. My brain is telling me to stop taking but I keep taking. | F | 49 | 6 months 1X day | 5/24/2021 | 5 | Nerve damage in neck after surgery. | Nope | Too Expensive | 56 | 3 years 600 mg 3X day | 12/10/2020 | 1 | foot neuropathy | Did not help with the pain, actually had more episodes while on the drug. Felt dizzy and spacy also weight gain? I am going to stop taking it. | M | 70 | 3 days 600 1X day | 6/8/2020 | 2 | Back pain arthritis | I took half of the pack until now I don't feel better | F | 32 | 15 days | 6/3/2020 | 5 | Severe burning pain in my back fro | No side effects and this medication has been a life saver for me. I have tried multiple medications in the last twelve years since my car accident and nothing has helped me like this medication. I have a whole new outlook on life. | I wish I had known about this medication sooner. | F | 46 | 20 days 600 mg 3 t | 1/14/2020 | 3 | Neuropathy and nerve pain | I took Gabapentin and got a bit more pain relief from it for some reason, but couldn’t stand always feeling so spacey, starving and unsafe to drive. Gralise doesn’t give me quite the same amount of pain relief, but it also doesn’t have the unwanted side effects. | F | 54 | 4 months 1800 mgs. | 7/9/2018 | 2 | Rotator cuff surgeries 3 on 1 shoulder | Take after dinner, allergic to most meds. I could not take gabapentin, but I do well on slow release. Helps somewhat must get minimum 8 hours in bed, foggy, confused,forgetful 1200 mg daily. I'm still in a lot of pain. | F | 52 | 3 years | 1/7/2018 | 1 | Neck pain | Was sleepy all day but could not sleep during the day. Severe panic attacks and depression. Tapering off is a nightmare. Worse medicine ever ! | F | 41 | 6 months 1600 mg | 11/18/2013 |
