So I am very interested in trying this. My doctor has never recommended this so I am betting she just needs a starting point and recommendation. She seems willing to try things.

Anyway, I am fortunate that both Gralise 1200mg/day (extended Gabapentin) and 5% Lidoderm patches. Would compounding these together be a good place to start? A better question is how much?

Thanks

Making a compounded cream is a personal thing. Choice of the many ingredients depend on what you need.

Here is one thread that discusses them:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ht=compounding

If your doctor is not experienced with this, your options are:

1) have your doctor call a colleague who might know.

2) call a compounding pharmacy near you and pose the question.
Hopefully they will give you ingredients to choose from and percentages to go with the recipe for your doctor to choose from.

You don't need typically all that are possible.

I do think you should investigate the Morton's Epsom lotion yourself from WalMart... it is really really good. Do that first to see if it is enough for you. (It is in the first aid section of the store and only $5.98)
