Question 1

if seen fit, would i be able to get a refill of gabapentin, just ran out, until i am able to be seen by a doctor near me? could a dr. on here assist?

Accepted Answer

Consider CONCIERGE: HealthTap CONCIERGE specialist doctors can take care of their patients via smartphone, tablet, or laptop. They can see photos you upload into your FILES. You can send images while in the middle of a Concierge consultation. For neurological disorders, ask for a neurologist. For medications like gabapentin, it is very likely that online prescriptions will NOT be given until after an in-person exam.

Question 2

hey i really need to get my meds refilled done before it's gets to late for me to get it done ok i just got away to get online and try to get someone who will help me get my 800mg gabapentin 120 of them because i have a very bad muscle disease email?

Accepted Answer

: Not on the free HealthTap platform, gabapentin is increasingly abused, stick with your current prescriber or a local pain group.

Question 3

i am desperately looking for a doctor who can refill my gabapentin and lexapro and who accepts cigna's insurance and can do telehealth?? i have been trying for months to get my meds back and it's not been good at all..can u please help me?

Accepted Answer

: Not on this forum.

Question 4

i need a refill on my gabapentin can you do that?

Accepted Answer

No: Not on this platform. Ideally your prescribing doc can renew per request, gabapentin is becoming increasingly abused and its use should be limited at a minimum.

Question 5

taking gabapentin 300gm and  having problem with moods, staying awake, balance. when will these get better? i am starting my second week.

Accepted Answer

Cut back to 100 mg: Slowly titrated. Start at 100 mg at bedtime. Go up to 200 mg after a week. Wait another 7-10 days to go up to 300 mg at bedtime then after a week try to add 100 mg in the morning

Question 6

smaller doses of gabapentin better then higher doses? bioavailability seems higher with lower doses so wouldn't you get more of the drug on lower dose

Accepted Answer

Gabapentin: true but at the same time you need a high dose of gabapentin in your system for it to work.  Usually 1200mg.  So lets say you take 300mg, and you absorb all 300... thats great but all you have is 300mg in your system.  Now take 900mg.  Lets say bioavailability fall to 75%.  Well 75% of 900 is still way more in your system than 300mg.  Oral absorbtion is generally like this.

Question 7

docs, could 400 mg neurontin (gabapentin) get you high?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: "high" is so subjective that this is impossible to answer clearly.  Some people feel sedated, cloudy, or "doped up" on gabapentin, ; they might call this "high."  but the same is true of over-the-counter cold tablets.  Research on altered states suggests that expectations ; the setting play a big role in whether a drug user feels "high."  using Neurontin to get high is not a good idea.

Question 8

taking 2400mg gabapentin 3x per day, for 2-3 months. how do i taper off? how many mg per day should i drop? how long should the taper take? taking for mood. want to get off asap. what is the best way to get off of this?

Accepted Answer

: Presume your dosage is 2400 mg total per day, but highest effective dose is but 1800 mg!  Sudden stopping could result in seizures as a potential risk.  You will need to contact your doctor, inform of your desires, and be supervised with a slow and steady taper.  Do NOT do this without supervision and assistance.  Expect a slow steady process will be smooth and safe.

Question 9

will there be a doctor available today? can u refill. my gabapentin?

Accepted Answer

: You have reached the public education site of HealthTap, where the volunteer doctors do not diagnose or prescribe.  But, at our paid site (www.connect@healthtap.com), you can schedule a virtual consult and if appropriate, find a excellent physician who could respond to your needs.

Question 10

i take 100mg gabapentin at bedtime to help me sleep and for my heds related pain.. lately ive been waking up with a very heavyfeeling. as if im just deadweight and it takes me a bit to get out of bed. could that be the gabapentin is still active?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it is likely a side effect of gabapentin even the dose is quite low if your kidney function is normal. You can prove it by stopping its use.
