I read that Gabapentin can reduce calcium supplies in the body and therefore it might be a good idea to supplement with calcium whilst on Gabapentin. I just wondered if anyone else had heard the same?
Do most people take supplements alongside their medications? I have been taking a Magnesium and multi vitamin supplement but I think I will have to stop taking it because the zinc in it seems to irritate my stomach.
I forgot to ask Dr S about supplements, does anyone know his advice on that?
Hope you are doing well? And enjoying the sunshine.
When I saw Dr S he said it wouldnt hurt to add magnesium and calcium as I told him I was worried where I had cut out dairy (cheese, milk butter etc) and think that is helping.
How are you doing now? I have come off the nort, been a month and feeling alot better for it - I think the life style change of a year out of complete rest really helped things for me! xxx :lol:
Nice to hear from you! It’s great that you have come off the meds and still feel a lot better. Do you feel that you are almost back to normal then?
I am still on nort and soon to be adding gabapentin. As Dr S said we are not out of the woods yet, but he is pleased I have improved since my last appt with him. Not sure I will ever be able to relax and say I am over this but I guess we have to keep hoping. Are you working and leading a normal life now? Do you see Dr S again? xx
