Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Good! I know several people who take gabapentin for pain, and it's pretty helpful. I hope it lets you get some sleep tonight!

Fingers crossed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, that's great to hear! A sympathetic doctor can make a huge difference. I took Wellbutrin for years, it more for me than any other antidepressant, probably because it helped my (then undiagnosed) ADHD. I hope the new meds help you!

Thanks, Zen. That’s encouraging to hear.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Welbutrin did good stuff for me back when I needed its help to get over severe mood and behavior changes following a massively adverse reaction to prednisone. And yes, it is useful for ADHD.

The ADHD is one of the reasons my doctor chose it.

Wellbutrin is great for me, though after a couple years I had to up the dose—we tried adding something else but it made me exhausted, gain wait, and killed my libido, so Wellbutrin alone is getting me through.

What is even happening?
Teppy, yes. Gabapentin at bedtime.
I hope that helps, sj.
When my son had his Crohn's surgery last year, he decided he wanted to do it without opioids. He'd never taken them, but he was concerned about developing a dependence. Given the extent of the surgery, the surgeon insisted he'd need morphine in post-op, but he could try. He had IV ibuprofen, Tylenol, and gabapentin. The Gabapentin made a big difference for him. I hope it helps you too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The bedtime meds were amazeballs. I slept like the dead. All night. No waking up every hour to reposition myself only to find there are no comfortable positions.
New doc said not to start the Wellbutrin for a couple of days because she wanted me to be able to know which drug might be causing side effects. Which made me want to hug her because I hate starting new drugs, and when a doctor throws a bunch of prescriptions at me and tells me not to worry, I freak out.
