9 months ago I suffered a hit on the head which is still serving as a thorn in my flesh. As I wait and pray for it to go away as quickly as it came I have already been on three different meds. I only have the name of 1 with me today... and I don't take it as prescribed but as needed. If you would like the other 2 when I return home I will get back with you.

GABAPENTIN: 300 mg (prescribed twice daily)
When I began taking it as directed I found it made me feel a bit 'intoxicated' but eased my headaches significantly and helped with the frustration issues that arose as cognitive issues continuously interfered with the roles I needed to fulfill in our ministry.
After abt a month or so I found myself constipated so badly that it took a weeks worth of laxatives to get me going again and I removed myself off of it. HOWEVER, when the next meds side effects made no significant help with my headaches or cognitive issues but the side effects started kicking, I spoke with my neurologist and now I just take the gabapentin as needed... if my head is locking-up and shooting pain OR if I am experiencing headaches already and unable to remove myself from areas where there are loud noises or a lot of people who I need to give attention toward.
