Hi all,


I read a study on Gabapentin cream (well, for my condition at least)


"The clinical efficacy and tolerability of topical gabapentin 6% cream was evaluated. Patients were instructed to apply a small amount of cream (approximately 0.5 mL, equivalent to the size of a pea) three times daily. The researchers found that after a minimum of 8 weeks of therapy, pain was significantly reduced and sexual function improved. Common adverse effects of oral gabapentin - including dizziness, somnolence, and peripheral edema - were not reported with topical therapy because the amount of active drug in topical preparations is significantly less than that administered orally, and the topical route of delivery reduces systemic absorption of the medication. The conclusion: “Topical gabapentin seems to be well-tolerated and associated with significant pain relief in women with vulvodynia.”


I asked in UK, it doesn't effin exist here, asked in DE which I sometimes visit and the pharmacy lady got all bosy and superior with me, the dumb b ** and she kept saying it would never work in cream form, bla bla.. (**** off lady, I graduated with a double major)

Can I try and make my own ? is it safe? How many pills would I crush in a cream base for this ?
anyone ever tried?? ideas?

thank you
