Medical marijuana vape for pain relief from Peripheral Neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Jan 18 1:55pm | Replies (57)Comment receiving replies
I just got back from seeing my doctor (GP). It has been 3 months of difficult pain. He wants me to up my dose of Gabapentin from 300mg morning and 600 mg at bedtime to 300mg morning and 1200 mg at bedtime. I know that is not much but up till now I have been using THC to get pain relief. Being new to this, I wonder if I should up the dose. ( It has been about 11 days since I started Gabapentin), so it might not be active yet.? What do you think is best....wait, or take more now?

@pacodennis I was on gabapentin for about 10 years until I was asked to try Lyrica for a different condition -
Wow. Lyrica gives significant pain relief... Without the 'buzz'. I enjoyed the relaxing side effects from gabapentin for the longest time, but beyond 1800mg it seemed to cause almost as much fuzzy neuropathy as the painful neuropathy it replaced. Still better than pain And more sustainable then opiates for me at least. If lyrica came out first I bet it wouldn't even be a controlled 5 substance whereas gabapentin would be at least a level 5 IMHO.
