Gabapentin Helped Me
Main idea of this post: The prescription drug Gabapentin has really helped me with neurological symptoms.
I do really lean toward natural treatments, but I have to say that Gabapentin (generic for Neurontin) has helped me incredibly.
Get Good Sleep
I first tried Lyrica for the nerve pain and I was able to sleep deeply for the first time in years! Lyrica was pretty expensive so I researched and found that Gabapentin was similar in makeup. They both kind of keep the nerves from firing so excessively. Gabapentin is much, much cheaper.
So I got the Gabapentin and found it helped in the same ways. I was able to focus better while working and it even stopped my memory loss. During naps and during the night, I was able to drop into the deeper stages of sleep.
No wonder I was so exhausted all the time! For years I’d not been getting deep sleep, with my body fighting all the time.
Gabapentin is not a cure, but it helped me a lot.
I’m not claiming that Gabapentin is a treatment for Lyme Disease. It doesn’t kill the borrelia spirochete. However, it sure made life more livable for me, so I’d thought I’d pass it on. I take 300 mg three times a day.
