| | Post-Polio Health, Spring 2003, Vol. 19, No. 2 - Gabapentin AKA Neurontin |
| | Polio survivors, experiencing pain from nerve or muscle areas, restless legs, or disturbed sleep because of these factors, might be recommended to try gabapentin by their physician, as an “off-label” use supported by the various studies reported in the medical literature. | | | A recent review of its use in neuropathic pain suggests it can be started and increased over a week or so to effective doses in the 1,800-3,600 mg per day range (lower in people with kidney disease), with excellent reduction in pain and improvement in quality of life, mood, and sleep. | | | The popularity that gabapentin has attained certainly relates to its broad effectiveness for various neurologic conditions, including pain, but also to its modest side effects. |
