What problems do you see with Gabapentin?
@mwj5368Ай бұрын
@@KKing55 I'm only amateur and not a doctor. I took care of my aging mother and for pain they prescribed Gabapentin. She seemed to more than fall asleep a lot, it was almost like she was unconscious. I'd be driving her on short trips and her head would tilt back and her mount wide open and looked like more than sleeping. She was like that so much of the day I felt like I had lost my real mother. I know different people react differently and she was on nine different medications. I got her off it and my mother had her life back again. I mean it was terrible when she was on it. I imagine so many in nursing homes on it and they are like that, kind of a pharmaceutical lobotomy in a way. Now years later my neurologist prescribed Gabapentin and my Rheumatologist did too. I changed my mind and at the pharmacy and in consultation with the pharmacist I said before I accept this and take it home and can't return it I decided not to take it. She really pushed I take the 90 day supply and I tried to tell her no in different ways and she knew once I accepted the pills they couldn't be returned. Now I'm on 8 different medications and I'm 70. Really you're doing the right thing thinking more about Gabapentin and reason to ask a doctor. I still have my 90 day supply now several months later and haven't taken any. I want to list all of my medications here and hope the doctor can answer as with rosuvastatin for cholesterol on Carnivore Diet my cholesterol was almost normal and wanted to try harder to lose weight etc and my doctor would not back down so I quietly did not take it. I had a 75% blockage in my LAD artery in my heart and had a mild heart attack on May 3rd so for now even though I was close to normal I feel for a few months I'll be on it but regret yet another pill pushed... Besides the 8 pills I didn't mention two inhaler meds I take too... They will push pills in a mega way and I don't know why, if maybe they get a kick-back doing so. I hope you work things out well.

30 years ago my Grandma was in a nursing home, she was hallucinating. My Dad called her Dr. and told him to take her off everything that wasn't necessary to keep her alive. She ended up on one drug for pain, and she returned to reality. It's shameful what they do the elderly in the name of medicine. My Grandma lived to 99 and probably would have lived longer if she wasn't put in a nursing home. If you love them, take care of them.

I'm 58 and I weaned myself off my pharmaceutical meds by researching them and then replaced them with natural supplements, except my levothyroxine. I was taking simvastatin, metoprolol, hydrochlorothiazide and levothyroxine. I researched side effects of all my meds and found that the top three side effects of my meds were all the same, so exponentially multiplying each side effect...muscle aches, joint pain and fatigue, all of which I was greatly experiencing the negative effects. I'm so much healthier mentally and physically now, my metabolic numbers are all mid average, my bp is under control, I'm walking everyday, eating a slightly tweaked carnivore diet and I've lost over 60lbs in 10 months. In a year I went from one foot in the grave to a healthy new beginning.

I've fortunate at 53, no meds, til I was just hit by double GOUT. 3RD X in 7 yrs...handled 2x on my own, nsaids sadly, no steroid prednisone until recently. I beat gout in right foot with Gouch, red onions tons of water, tart cherry and celery seed extract tincture. Injured left good foot toe crushing my bad foot around, caused stress and i.was hit by psuedo gout for first time. Nothing that worked on purine uric acid worked on Oxalates caused gout crystals that stiffened my ankle with tons of pain beyond my threshold as I had no nsaids last week. Didn't want to work my kidneys more. So with that, gout foot healing per natural means no.meds, my pseudo gout had me at urgent care no time to fight it on my own. Prednisone was given 4th day of 16 med hell cycle. 1st x So it worked...and I'm aware of the tons of side effects. My anxiety and reluctance was high but I had no choice. I'm afraid of the road ahead. Joined a prednisone group on fb. I am doing my best to stay very hydrated, eating nutrient foods at only 2 x a day. I want to lose weight not gain it 1 med at 1115am lunch, no breakfast or snacks. Just a good protein calcium potassium magnesium etc foods that pack a punch hopefully replacing what this toxic crap is killing off. I'm in bed with the enemy ...by force is how it feels. I had no choice with my wife discussing a nursing home rehab if I was unable to walk and needed better care. Sucks. Yes, I've battled sugars, cheats, comfort food time and lost, but was doing good. Good til I got dehydrated and gout struck. Curing myself felt good in such a short time until the chain reaction of pains occurred. I'm doing what I can to decrease the side many possible side effects. Blood sugar higher is 1. So no snacking. No breakfast. 1115 am meal dinner by 7 meal 100 plus oz water. No sugar drinks foods etc. Avocado bean green beans veggies eggs varieties for protein fiber potassium etc, some nuts, some cherries fruits, not many, yogurt fage %5, red onion and some cayenne and celtic salt for other minerals. .. dinner only not with med meal. Nit too spicy though. I eat spicy indeed, no tums needed as Avocado or yogurt help with any acid reflux build up. So. I applaud you for getting of those pharma toxic meds and finding better actually safer alternatives that work. After this I hope to be done with pharma. Been told my hypothyroidism could only be solved with pills. I never took them. It is high at times and mod norm ...done by diet not by their bs pills. High now from this gout experience. Was lower b4 it. Pushed pill on me again. Doc could not believe I cured gout 3x without the gout meds and steroid. til This time that is. Newtypr gout I couldn't beat. Gotta watch it going forward. But I will do better after this...lise weight, better shape, eat better with better habits. Best to you.😊

As a former hospital pharmacist it heartens me to hear a physician want to try and reduce the patient's home med list. I reviewed thousands of these lists with new admits and it's mind boggling how huge these lists are for some. I would add another one to your list is all the OTC meds. Short term? Perhaps. But IMO ppl take way too many OTC meds chronically especially the PPIs which can interfere with the absorption of many nutrients. Also the NSAIDs can interfere with renal function. They are not benign just because they are OTC. GREAT video!

My wife decided a few months ago to test her blood for diabetes. Her A1C was quite high -- 14 but it spiked once to 25. Her doctor put her on Metformin. Over the next two months, she started an intense exercise program, and she lost 3-4 kg (6-8 pounds). My wife only weighs about 42 kg and now is getting more issues with tingling/pains in her feet and now her hands. I am very concerned that the Metformin (currently 1000 mg but her doctor wants to increase) is burning up her fat (she now has wrinkled skin in several areas, because of her weight loss) and pushing her towards Ketosis. She doesn't know what to do and aggressively focuses on carbs, cutting most carbs out altogether. I have tried to persuade her to eat more carbs, as I want her to regain her healthy weight. But she has taken the fear mongering dished out by the medical fraternity very seriously. How do I help her gain weight? She believes the Metformin "could be" helping her pancreas to process glucose; but I worry that this drug is actually preventing her body from storing fats in the normal manner, because it forces the liver to produce less glucose. How do I help her? She refuses to try and stop the Metformin temporarily, to see if it is causing, or worsening, her bad tingling/pain/numbness in her feet, which she did NOT have, prior to taking Metformin.

I have had Parkinson’s Disease for over 15 years. The motor and non-motor symptoms list is long and varied. It is really easy to take the meds that ones primary care doctor or neurologist are willing to pass out to help with the symptoms. However, each med has a list of side effects of its own. I have gone from 6 meds to 2 - and I take very little of those two. Lately they suggested I take an SSRI for depression. I did my research and watched Dr. Dhand. I will exercise more instead. My mother just passed away at age 101. Her LDL, for her entire adult life, was over 300. She never took a statin. When she died she was on one Thyroid drug. That’s it

I cant say for sure it would help you, but i definitely would say to give it a shot.

After a weird hormonal issue at 42 years old, I was put on levothyroxine by an endocrinologist specialized in thyroid issues. She could never explain why I had hypothyroidism since it wasn't autoimmune (zero antibodies in my blood work, and 90%+ of cases of hypothyroidism are autoimmune). So I consulted three more doctors and they all said the same thing: keep on taking levothyroxine. It didn't make sense to me because my TSH wasn't too high, just barely above normal range before I started the medication. Also, some TSH elevation is expected when you hit middle age. So I decided to very slowly wean off my thyroid medication, always doing blood work 45 days after every successful lowering of the dose. It has been two years since I took my last dose, nothing bad happened, My T3 and T4 levels are just fine, TSH slightly elevated, and I feel great.

Couldn’t agree more. I saw patients on dozens of medications where many were interacting with others. I told my patients that if you have a complaint every time you see your doctor they will give you another pill for that and EVERY pill has a side effect you may not like at all. A pill is not the answer to every ailment! We need to treat the whole person body, mind, and soul. Many times just listening goes a much longer way in the healing of the mind and the body. This is something that has changed dramatically in today’s rushed and apathetic world. I feel for seniors today because caring is in short supply and the greed of pharmaceutical companies is great. Seniors are much more sensitive to side effects than most.

Back in the mid 90's I was put on Paxil. Didn't notice any difference until one day I was driving to visit an Uncle. My first extended solo interstate drive after starting it. Had trouble staying awake. On the way back I stopped in a rest area and took a nap. Within 20 miles of getting back on the road I was once again drifting off. Took an exit and finished the trip on winding mountain type road. All the curves kept me awake. Just took myself off cold turkey with no problem. Years later I started taking Lexapro. Again really didn't notice any difference so I quit it, also cold turkey. That was a mistake. The what I've heard called brain flashes were bad for a few weeks. At least in my case the things weren't needed. My sense of depression came more about what I was doing, meaning my attitude about my activities. Now on the plus side of 70 I sometimes start feeling a bit depressed. Instead of turning to medications I get off my backside and start doing things. Enjoyable stuff like playing my guitar or drudgery like mowing or clearing brush, it doesn't matter. Depression goes away almost immediately.

Still not happy & limping, I started looking into natural supplements for inflammation which opened a whole new world! Boswellic acid!!! I can't say enough about it! A change in diet, knocking down empty carbs! Staying away from inflammatory foods! Taking tumeric (which I grow,) increasing ferments all seem to be helping tremendously! Ive lost 24# and can feel the difference! I'm still fine tuning & still have achy days, but I'm not nearly as incapacitated as I was! Oh, and I've completely stopped the gaba-p!

Ohmigosh! Thank you for the common sense. It's refreshing, rare and much appreciated. I've gone through a myriad of medications over the last 15 years. Initial blood pressure rise in my 30's. I was slim and worked out 6 days a week. Each blood pressure medication change caused me to be so tired I could barely change the sheets on my bed without needing to lay down for a couple of minutes. Final cocktail was Diltiazem, Losartan, and HCTZ. Then my blood glucose (A1C) began to shoot up. Doctor said it was my fault or I must have a family member who was diabetic. ?? I began putting on weight, muscle loss, and fatigue. Dentist said my mouth showed signs of dehydration, my eye doctor said my eyes showed signs of dehydration but no signs of diabetes. At this point I was on Janumet and Venlafaxine for blood sugar and hot flashes in addition to the 3-pill cocktail for blood pressure. One day, after a morning of yard work (my yard is 1/4 acre), I collapsed. I was able to crawl into the shower, cool down, started sipping water, until I could get myself upright. Then I began my self-education. When the doctor refused to stop prescribing the medications or reconsider what they were doing to me, I stopped taking them on my own and reported such. He put in my medical notes that I was non-compliant. After realizing that each medication caused an unacceptable "side-effect" which prompted the doctor to add another pill, I began losing faith in the entire healthcare system. I have changed physicians three times now. What is this tendency to "phone it in" rather than have a good look at what I'm telling them? I had also received a letter from my health insurance stating that the doctor prescribed me medication for a reason and that I should take it or risk losing coverage. At this point, I was just paranoid enough to think that the pills were "designed" to cause these side effects to encourage more prescriptions. 1. HCTZ raises blood glucose levels, risk of dehydration and skin damage. 2. Venlafaxine raises cholesterol or changes the ratio; Dr. prescribed Atorvastatin and Pioglitazone. The black-box warning labels scared me to pieces. I did not take them. I'm still taking Diltiazem and Losartan, which I'll research and revisit in future days. My blood glucose has leveled out, my blood pressure is good, and my cholesterol levels have dropped and the ratio has corrected. My dentist has noticed a difference and my eye doctor reports that my vision has improved over the last two visits. I am now 65 years old, much improved, but think I could feel better. My dog and I have adventures ahead of us. Thank you so much for your educated and common-sense approach. (Sorry about rambling but I knew you would get what I'm saying.)

In my 20s I had a severe dizzy spell that sent me to the doctor. He claimed my blood pressure was low, needed elevation and prescribed fen-phen. I wasn't overweight or carrying any health risks. No pharmacist knew of the drug at that time, so they could not tell me about side effects. I never took the tabs. Forward 15 years and I see a class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of fen-phen, on Game Show Network. It caused primary pulmonary hypertension, heart valve and neuropsychological damage. Talk about feeling like I dodged a bullet.. I'm alive and healthy at 47 and not on any meds. EDIT: My grandmom followed the science for 16 years, when the initial research came out, touting aspirin as a preventative med for blood clots, strokes and heart attacks. After 16 years of daily doses of baby aspirin, she was taken off of it because the science now showed it caused kidney damage and hers weren't spared. She died of kidney failure. My trust in much of "the science" has been rocked at its core.

I'm 63, weaning myself off repeats of Omeprazole (after 5 years!). After symptom rebound I was told I would "probably always need to take it". Second opinion GP is helping me titrate it down, without rebound so far 😊. I decided to take a daily shot glass of low sugar aloe vera juice that I swear has made a huge difference to my gastic comfort. My goal is "Clean by Christmas". 🤞

Two people I know who started and stayed on Omeprazole ended up building a tolerance to it and had to take stronger versions. They can never get off that medication ever. One of them can barely eat anything because her stomach cannot digest it. I took it briefly a few times but stopped as it made my bloating worse.

I have been squaring off with my Doctor for years about what I don’t need and why I don’t need it Lol they get so offended because “I” am making informed decisions 🥸 it’s a crazy time we are in… medical care😳not… 🇨🇦

It’s an absolute joy to hear a doctor that actually cares. I had so e blood tests done and straight away my doctor tried to get me on statins. I knew what was coming as I already had the test results sent to me as well as the doctor. I was just on the good side of my cholesterol being high, so I did a lot of research on cholesterol. When my doctor phoned me to discuss my results, I had all the answers and also a few questions that I asked. The end result was I’ll have another blood test in a years time to see how I’m doing. I really do believe that doctors get an incentive to prescribe some medications. I understand a few life choices can be the difference between going on medication and not. I don’t like the thought of chemicals in my body unless it’s absolutely necessary. We’ll see next year if they’re still pushing for me to take drugs. Great content and clear and concise information. Thanks.

You are the best health informant! I love your videos and the truth bombs you continue to share. I learn so much from your knowledge. I am 64 years young, proudly not on any meds, intend to keep it that way. I am very in tune with my body and how I feel and I honor what it needs. Keep up the great work! Nice to read other comments too. We need communities like this more and more, to learn from eachother.

Just stumbled on this. Then watched another of his video on Hospital life saving advice. So glad of his professional advice for patients. Sadly, this noble profession has a small number of truly caring doctors like it used to have.

I consider myself to be a healthy senior (over 70). The only medications I take are vitamin supplements, D3, B12, Centrum and a tablet for eye health. Six years ago, a gp suggested I go on a cholesterol medication, I refused the prescription and instead changed my diet. Big pharmas not making any money off of me.
