My doctor has me prescribed to 400mg of Gabapentin (3× daily). My dosage is maxed out according to them. I suffer from severe nerve issues that cause it to feel like I have jolts of electricity shooting through my arm and leg. It hurts both all day and night. They refuse to put me on anything else, I was given Tramadol after my nerve surgery (that failed and caused more problems) on my arm and hand in May of 2021. I saw some people mention a drug that they considered a "miracle drug" called Naltrexone. Has anyone here been prescribed this for chronic pain? How did you convince your doctor to let you try it? I am so tired of being dismissed and ignored by doctors and nurses. I am in pain 99.8% of the time. I literally wake up, to hurt. I need help. Cannabis is not legal here in Georgia, even for medicinal use.

Gabapentin caused me to hallucinate ( my personal opinion). I took myself off it. I was actually on the low dose naltrexone before the gabapentin, but a new doctor insisted that I try it so I did. I gave it four months before I stopped it and went back on my LDN. There is a Facebook group dedicated to LDN and is monitored by a doctor. I cannot remember the name of the group.

thank you for sharing. I could use an appetite suppressant as well, as I can not seem to lose weight, no matter what I do.

@FreddyFabrix I've lost over 40 lbs slowly so far. And it's not a stimulant.😁
Hi, I take naltrexone with wellbutrin and combined they act as an appetite suppressant. I also have nerve issues in my hands, arms and shoulders. Since I have been taking naltrexone, I have noticed a decrease in my nerve pain issues. There may be some truth to what you've heard. Just wanted to share that.
