Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

I saw my neurologist the other day. He prescribed me Neurontin (which is expensive, as there is no generic) to reduce the number of migraines I get per month. Anyone have experience with this med (for this purpose or any other, pain-related purpose)? I've been on it a week, and so far nothing new, just a little tired when I take it.

I was given the drug at the beginning of the year. It did not help my pain but made me so loopy I just couldn't take it. And I started out with 600-800 mg aday and he wanted me to work up to 1800, NOT. I simple could not tolerate this drug. I also have seen some info on this med that it should only be used for what it is suppose to be used for and that is seizures. I do not have the link for the info I read, but please do some research on this drug. THey were prescibing this alot for those with nerve pain. I do know some tht have had some good results with this, but as for me it didn't help the pain but boy I couldn't walk a straight line if I had to.

I have a friend who is bi-polar (manic depressive) and he was prescribed neurontin during a manic phase, when he got a little out of control. The neurontin made it worse, he started hallucinating etc. and had to discontinue. I have never taken this stuff but I got curious so I did some research, and found that it is WIDELY overprescribed, for many non-FDA approved conditions:
"A March 14, 2002, New York Times article revealed that the manufacturer of the seizure medication gabapentin (NEURONTIN) illegally promoted the drug to prescribing physicians for at least 11 "off-label" (unapproved) medical conditions......" (you can read the whole thiing in this NEURONTIN LINK right here.
But lots of people say it helps. Here is another pretty good NEURONTIN FAQ LINK, this one seems pretty objective. Hope this helps.
