I heard that the kids these days are snorting Gabapentin - I was on it for a little bit a long time ago, but the side-effects were too much.

What were your side effects?

I took them for 2 months, 1 per day (300 mg). I'm not really sure what effect(s) they've had on me, as I have a lot of little symptomy things always going on.

I can't say I feel WORSE from them though. But I'd like to hear what you went through while taking them.

Edit; I'm convinced kids will snort anything these days. As long as it's got a nice long confusing pharmaceutical name even grandma's gout pills all crushed up will suffice.

hmmmm, except for the stuff the doctor prescribes me, I don't do drugs.
So why haven't we talked about alcohol? You've all heard the Ian Dury song "Sex,drugs and Alcohol " :-p

Reconfigurering my workstation, only survivable thing to do is to drink beer along with the process

Have we covered it all now?

My joints, especially my knees, were killing me - and I guess that is a common side effect.

I used to be like that, until I checked myself into detox on April 11th

Maybe that's why I didn't notice side effects. I have general achiness in my back and stemming FROM my back into pretty much all over, it's a standard thing with me. So some extra of that wouldn't really register much. ha

Haven't had any problems with my knees though, that's one small blessing.

On a side note a muscle in my upper back decided to act up last week. Woke up Thursday morning and couldn't move. Neck, shoulder and right arm were virtually imobilized, incredible pain. But as luck would have it I found an old prescription in the back of my med cupboard for celebrex (muscle relaxer). 18 hours and 3 pills later I was able to move around again.

Those pills were way WAYYY out of date though. (but thank God I had them)
