CBG or CBD Oil and Gabapentin

Posted by marenew @marenew, Apr 24, 2021

I had posted a few days ago in an existing thread but wanted to start its own discussion. Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with using either CBG or CBD oil (state which and if without THC) and Gabapentin. I am interested to know if the supplemental use of that helped you not have to increase your dose of Gabapentin or improved the effectiveness. I have only used the cream without THC for localized burning on face and neck. Unfortunately my nerve burning is my entire body including deep inside abdominal area.

@marenew, great questions. I see you already got a great response from @athenalee in this discussion https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/596137/

Allow me to bring in fellow members @artscaping @migizii @jfsherley @txbren and others who have experience with CBD and gabapentin. As you wait for other to reply, you may also be interested in this discussion:

My husband has been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Not being able to find any relief from meds, started taking CBD with THC 5%. For the first time in years he slept without foot pain. THANK YOU, LORD. Two bonuses in one, sleep and no pain. Foot numbness remains but we will see what happens next.
