Default Medication question

Can anyone tell me if it is okay to take my LDN, Neurontin and Zanflex at the exact same time? I normally have taken my LDN and Zanaflex, but now my neuro has added the neurontin.

I take them around 10:30 to 11:00 PM
Just wanted to make sure I can take all of these in the same mouthful!!

Skip is my chemist....so I should call.

How much would you separate them?

Why didn't you like Neurontin?

Hi Daisy,
I would check them out with Skip too. I weaned off of Neurontin to go on LDN. I was up to 3600 mg of Neurontin and it stopped helping me. I took Neurontin for 5 to 6 years. I had to wean off very, very slowly. It is for sensory symptoms, and is sleep inducing for some.

It is really for Epilepsy but used off-label for MS.

Some people take small doses. What dose are you starting on? It is addictive, believe me. Your body craves it after a while. Some people can't take it at all.

If you decide to take all three. Please space them. JMO

thanks guys...

I am taking the Neurontin for seizures, as well, my neuro thought they would help the terrible leg pains I have at night. The Zanaflex makes me a little relaxed, but really does not touch my leg pain.

I just started the Neurontin one week ago, I am taking 600mg 2xday, but will be working up to 900mg 3x day (I think)

My zanaflex is 4mg.

I am trying to figure out the best way to take them all. ...how to separate them?

I just didn't like the way it made me feel, kinda groggy. I was taking it for feet burning. I didn't have to wean off it, because I was still on the low dose and didn't take it for that long.

Do you need both the Z and the N? Maybe the N would be enough, if it did it's job?

I called and talked to Skip today.....He said it was fine to take all three in one mouthful.
Right now the neurontin is not helping me to sleep....my legs just ache, like a toothache, it is terrible. If the Neurontin would take away the leg pains, I wouldn't take the Zanaflex. If fact, that is what I tried last night, but had to get up around 2 and take the Zanaflex. Maybe when I get to a high enough does of the Neurontin I won't need the Zanaflex.
