J: Yes, I told my internist who prescribed it and the head pharmacist at the hospital that fills my scripts. I'm very close to the pharmacist and was told that Gabapentin is off-label use for me. I have no idea why I was prescribed it other then a lame reason for neuropathy. I usually get scripts, because I inquire about it and do my due diligence/homework. Surprisingly, there's very little positive feedback on it. It's highly unusual for me to have adverse reactions to prescribed drugs. This happened within 1 hour and that never happened in my long life over a RX. I once was given adenosine for a chemical stress test and it caused a heart attack that almost killed me. I didn't need a chemical stress test and was capable of doing a standard physical stress test at that time. I tried to find if the cardiologist ordered the chemical stress test or the physicians assistant/nurse practitioner took it upon himself. The doctor played dumb and I refuse to see him because he's a hack. I went to college with a great guy, who went on to become a cardiologist. He's in Houston at Baylor but I'm not flying in to see him. In the 70s I worked at NASA (JSC) and it was great seeing him and other ultimate professionals. My 'kid' brother is a pediatric craniofacial plastic surgeon at the medical center there and teaches. He hasn't charged a fee in decades, so he donates his time and gets hospitals to pitch-in too. No ACA or Medicaid expansion in TX. I seriously considered seeing an attorney over that stress test. I heard many horror stories from many other men immediately after adenosine, or regadenoson, was administered. I didn't feel like Gabapentin might kill me, I was just blown away how it immediately adversely affected me. I'm not going to be an avenger over it like that over chemical stress tests with adenosine, or regadenoson! I was immediately rushed into ER and a "code blue" declared. I wouldn't take Gabapentin on a bet. It's been around a long time and now being pushed on patients. I've seen that on numerous meds over the years. I've told doctors certain drugs are going to get black box labeled from the FDA. My Internist said about my research is because being retired I have time to read and he's a working stiff. Which to me was BS because I did it in the Army flying choppers. I had my life and others to consider! Gabapentin was like me taking strychnine, a Victorian era medicine widely used. Maybe I need leeches or bloodletting? Just too much time on my hands before I die!
