I've been on Gabapentin 20 years & take 3,600mg daily!Now I know why my memory is not there when I need it. ♥️ Thank you!!

My doc had me on 10 MG a day for 27 years. I am tapering off. I am so spaced out

This really helps me understand that what I feel is normal. Thank you.

Thank you so much!! I was diagnosed with vascular dementia by Neurologist. I felt like, well she is the doctor BUT I really wasn’t ever convinced about her diagnosis due to several things as I have trouble with word finding but not with much else. I am 73. Thank you so much for your presentation!! I am going to research this further until I am satisfied it’s a true diagnosis.

My sister is 56 and just diagnosed with encephalomalacia in the cerebellum after an mri scan. Dr said she had a stroke last year. Told her there was no cure and her brain tissue is dying. Is there any holistic nutritional intervention that could help heal her brain tissue?

I came down with White Matter Disease due to a traumatic head wound that caused the destruction of parts of my cerebrum and cerebellum I have to take a serotonin uptake inhibitor due to the lack of serotonin in my brain.

My husband has been diagnosed with circulatory dementia and this sounds great! Any little improvement would be great. Thank you! Love your discussion

I have ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ESPECIALLY THE CHRONIC COUGH EXCEPT Bi-Polar and and Social Anxiety Disorder.😊

I am only 20 seconds in and I am thinking... wow, gorgeous ceiling... gorgeous blouse... gorgeous eye glass frames which actually look good on her and then... oh hell even this woman is gorgeous !! Okay perhaps I have been off of my Gabepentin too long. 😅 I ran out 6 months ago and I am in unbearable pain so much so that I could not even get to make a doctors appointment. 😢

Thank you for this video! 🙏 I had white matter on my MRI results from almost 2 yrs ago and the Radiologist's report just said it was associated with migraines and made no mention of it being a disease. I was left with the impression that it was just something people with migraines often have and no one gave me any explanation or expressed any concern.

The vet put my cat on Gabapentin as a pain killer. Totally changed his personality and ended up walking around in a daze. Needless to say I weaned him of it!

This medication made me feel as if I was having an out of body experience. Like I wasn’t in full control, as if I could see myself on a screen, very awkward, not a good feeling at all. I had back surgery in 2017. My Anesthesiologist gave me two Gabapentin pre-OP. I begged him, No. please! And he made me take it. I turned out ok, but I was out of it post op. And I blame the meds compounded with general anesthesia. I typically tolerate anesthesia fine. Just sleepy, as expected. I know it helps others, but not for me.

If you take this medication DO NOT ABRUPTLY STOP!!! You should step down slowly with a Dr supervision! This drug is one of the nicest drugs on the market to do what it does.

I don’t think this lady is a real Dr.

8:40 You really need to be more careful with your words. "Quite a few of you wrote me questions on my Facebook page asking about this DRUG WHICH I absolutely love...." Do you realize that, in your sentence, the word WHICH refers to the word DRUG!? We know that you MUST have meant that it's the QUESTIONS that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE and not GABAPENTIN. However, what you said means that it's the DRUG GABAPENTIN that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE. So, you're right when you say: 24:08.

My zaps started when I started taking Effexor several years ago. I thought that maybe it's what shock therapy feels like! I haven't taken Effexor in about 7 years, but once in awhile I get a zap. I do take Vyvanse and Adderall so figured they might activate something.

15:01 trazodone is non opiate has the same effect as morphine which is opiate.

I wonder if it would help Tinitus?

In a nutshell, depression/unhappy from not having life partner to love, communicate with, spend time with. No one at home! With that no body wants to hire “job wise” I am over qualified! I ADHD which in circle of other things! Making new friends is impossible fucked because I don’t have any friends it is fucked by people’s addictions lending to binging nonstop to screens.

Does anyone tried Xanax for sleeping? I am wondering cuz my doctor prescribed Xanax for me to get rid of panics but also prescribed Lorazepam for me to sleep

How did it get so bad in my friend? She was 24 years old and just died from this disease. She was in the hospital for 5 1/2 weeks before passing. Before hand she was a opioid addict, did that severely increase the progression of the disease? The doctors she saw had no answers

I started gabapentin about 5 months ago and would say that I felt I was more forgetful. I stopped taking it 3 weeks ago and already feel normal again.

I was diagnosed gabapentin when told I have RSD/CRPS. Taking it at bedtime only for getting deep sleep while going thru pain blocks & OT. My goal is once the nerve pain is resolved to stop taking it because of the side effects, especially the brain fog. Back in 2014 it was very difficult to get more than a weeks script much less a refill. I'm elderly now and surprisingly diagnosed 120 pills. WOW!

I wonder if this is the same thing as gliosis

chemo. not much info about chemobrain. or maybe there was? honestly, afraid fog prevents me from really understanding what is being said here.

You are sexy as well as smart an informative

I am on gabapentin for neuropathic but I have memory issues. Conflict ?

I have had five strokes in the past 10 years and I am only 35. Two of them we are convinced happened this year as they were in my basal ganglia as symptoms you mentioned have been happening since. Next week I’m getting a CTA and a 2D Doppler to see if my throasic outlet caused them (it caused the first three) my nuero vascular think it is highly unlikely that the 2nd two would cause such alarming symptoms because it’s almost impossible. Well I am the definition of rare.

Thankyou for this insightful video

Hospitals need protocol for some type of prevention. They knew my mom had a UTI and didn't treat it. I watched the delirium onset and told the nurses and the doctor. They wouldn't give her an antibiotic. She went 6 days without it. She's in a nursing home right now. They discharged her with an active UTI, severe constipation, dehydration and delirium. They also took her off a med that should never be just stopped. So withdrawal from that too. It's a disgrace.

Slight brain fog on gabapentin

Ohhh yes now I remember that I kept walking into stuff! I wish I didn’t have those issues since it helped with anxiety

I couldn’t remember anything I felt like I was developing dementia. My anxiety was non existent but only because my brain was in a constant thick fog

I just got diagnosed with ot

Thanks for your support.

Why use Gabapentin when GABA, totally natural, works just as well with no side effects?

Thank you for this video it was very informative. I have being taking gabapentin for a long time. I started taking it for fibromyalagia and now for sciatic pain and neuropathy. I try my best to take the lowest dose I can noticing the dizziness when I take during day so I mostly take it at afternoon and night.

I have chronic and severe lumbar, hip and leg pain. I.take 100 Mg of Gab twice a day for lower back nerve pain. IT WORKS!

My Dear, Not to upset you but I must say you have put out some bad information to your listeners. I could point out many areas of contention but I will mention only two. You didn't mention the elimination of sugar in the diet and you apparently don't understand realitive risk versus absolute risk in regards to statins. May I suggest that before you put out any more videos on this subject that you join cardiologist Dr. William Davis Inner Circle group and truly learn how to address atherosclerosis. Ask yourself the question, can statins halt or reverse calcium growth? The short answer is, no.

Gabapentin? I think it hurts me more than it helps me? Slow cognitive processing, memory problems, fatigue, reduced balance and stability, and my neuropathy seems worse - not better! And it was prescribed for my diabetic neuropathy! I’ll make an appointment to discuss with my doctor but some doctors are so ego-involved with their prescribed regimen that take offense! One doctor said to me, “Well, that’s all I do so if you aren’t going to take a statin (after I sincerely tried 3 different statins) then there’s not much I can do for you!”

My internal trembling wakes me up, they start around dawn & wake me up only to go back to sleep & be awoken again with them. I’ve been having mine since menopause if there’s a link but 15 years on they’re still with me.

Thank you doctor. Your explanation was really helpful to me.

Gabapentin almost killed me

Thats the issue with people ! A picture paints a thousand words ! Solutions Delivered ! And you guys keep taling about Bias and Evidence when its right under yiur nose !

I wonder if using this method with etanercept would work? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10646525/

If you are watching this make sure you know this is a psychologist and not a medical doctor

This is one of the worst informational videos on this product, just look at her body language , don’t trust her lol there is a lot of REAL information on the product with people with actual experience using the product

I was on it and it was absolutely horrific. My daughter was on it and gained so much weight and it was absolutely horrific for her I don't want anybody to be on this stuff

Gabapentin was prescribed to my cat due to leg pain issues. How does it affect animals? Is it the same as humans. I also, have been taking Pregabalin for over 5 years along with Tramadol for over 2o years for my chronic pain. I have experienced some fog thinking at times, but not often. Both have helped me tremendously and have minimized my pain levels.

I hate that I am stuck on gabapentin for the rest of my life because of peripheral neuropathy in my feet. However, Lyrica almost killed me! Not kidding either, the negative self talk and suicide idealization was off the charts!!! I was intent on unaliving myself on lyrica!! I called my dr immedicalty and said oh this is evil, get me off this now!!! So back to gabapentin. I would sell my soul to not be in pain all day every day but refuse to take opiods of any kind. There is nothing on the market that helps with the nerve pain in my feet. I have lost interest in just about everything. I do nothing after work or on the weekends because I am too tired and/or in too much pain. At one point, I was was taking up to 2400 mg a day. It took me more than a week but I slowly stopped taking that high dosage. Today, I only take a total of 400 a day. I live in constant pain but I can function. But just barely, thankfully I work from home and that makes managing my pain easier. Gabapentin is a controlled med in Michigan so those days when I have more pain than normal or significant pain in my feet, I have to suck it up as I cannot take anymore since I can only take what is on the label regardless of whether or not the pain is intense and an extra pill is needed, I am screwed and have suffer.
