This person now seems to be totally mental and hallucinating. . . complete with bruises and cuts and lack of memory. Can't tell the difference between their hallucinations and reality. What to do? Does Anyone reading this have any comments regarding this drug? How can the "doctors" prescribe such garbage? I am freakked and don't know how to help except to remove that medication with their permission, this was done yesterday but the effect is still "on them." 100 green elavils with 5! refills. What is that? |

. . . what is the lithium for . . . sleep? |

in your shoes." This friend was diagnosed with diabetes 2 about 10 months ago. Had their blood sugar level been noticed earlier, the "neuropathy" could have been avoided by diet and exercise. Folks, this diabetes is a horrible fate. Get yearly checkups if someone in your family has had this dreaded disease. One needs to have some predispostion to it from someone in the family having had it. In other words, it is heredetary and brought on by bad dietary habits. (The world famous guitarist "EARL KING" just died at 69 a few days ago from 'diabetes related symptoms') I asked a pharmacist why there is such a noticeable emphasis on diabetes on commercial television, 'is it because there has been an outbreak of it recently (past year or so)?' the reply was that "there has just been approval for running commercials about diabetes." I thought that the combination of Neurontin and Elavil may have been the reason for this person's hallucinations. I found a webpage related to Neurontin that shocked the heck out of me: http://www.questionabledoctors.org/intro.cfm where they make mention of the fact that doctors were "bribed" to write reviews of this neurontin drug saying that it was great for 11 'diseases' . . . number one is for bipolar, number 2 is for "diabetic peripheral neuropathy!" . . . don't know What to do. the only other drugs that they are taking are Glucophage, Glucotrol XL and maybe Starlix. . . . This was a very healthy and strong person. It scares me to hear that they were trying to find the back door to their apartment through other neighbors when there is no back door. |
I was on Elavil for a year, for trigeminal neuralgia. I took half of a 25 mg pill every night before bed. I had no scary side effects, but it made me sleep 9+ hours straight, without waking up once, and I'd feel very groggy in the morning. |
This is interesting. |
The proper link is: http://www.citizen.org/eletter/articles/neurontin.htm .. Another friend swears that the same drug helped their back pain. (?. . but not mixed with Elavil) "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, using their own employees, euphemistically called "medical liaisons." Many of the bases for the safety and effectiveness of gabapentin for these 11 unapproved uses appears to have been fabrications by the corporation. This included paying physicians to appear as the authors of medical journal articles on unapproved uses for gabapentin when the articles had actually been written by others working under the direction of the company’s marketing department." Check out this site for your symptoms, http://www.medifocus1.com/guide_detail.asp?... Spider, I think that is the link. |
