Default Gabapentin and Supplements?
Hello,

Can Gabapentin be taken with different supplements? I am considering taking Grapeseed Extract oil; fish oil and Tumeric Cucurim supplements.

Yes. I would look into PEA before Gabapentin.

I added a link to a PubMed article but the program forbids it due to low post count. You will have to cut and paste if you are interested.

PEA is palmitoylethanolamide. It calms the nerve endings.

I use PEA. I have to purchase it from Amazon. It's more popular in Europe and there is anecdotal evidence that it can be as effective as Gabapentin without the risks.

It's the 2nd time I read something about PEA being useful for PNP.
Sassafrass, what's the dosage you use? Do you think it works for you?

Thanks.

Thank you Sassafrass! I will look into that. I cannot get off the Gabapentin right now, I tried to reduce the dosage from 900mg to 600mg and my nerve pain returned.

I am not 100% sure that PEA works as I started it with ALCAR and other supplements. But the science looks good and I have so many issues with my nerves that it likely can only help.

Are you taking gabapentin 900 mg three times per day? What are your symptoms that returned? Thanks!

I just stopped taking Gabapentin because of bad dreams. It did not help me sleep either.

I've been taking Gabapentin for what seems like a million years. The interaction I've heard about is that it competes for uptake in the stomach with magnesium. I recently heard that it's a minor amount, maybe up to 20%. If I take magnesium, I separate it from my Gabapentin by a couple hours so they're not in my stomach together.
