Drugs that help!

Postby Jeremiah » Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:41 pm

Just a very quick note on a couple of drugs that have been helping me.

Inderal/Propanol (generic) = Helped lower blood pressure, helped cut down on migraines, and have recently upped dosage to help with anxiety and stress. No side effects for me from this drug.

Gebapentin = Helps a ton by specifically dulling nerve damage/ending pain. Was having tons of nerve related pains from neuropathy, surgery, etc. and this drug works great for me in that area. Does not seem to affect anything else and I am not seeing any side effects. It is an anti siezure medicine that has recently gained popularity for treating the nerve related issues.

I'm familiar with all of these drugs and I agree, they can be quite helpful. I'm glad they're working for you. Thanks for posting this. Maybe some other folks can benefit from it as well.

You are welcome on the info. Anything I can do to help.

Yeah, sorry for the few posts. I have been busy with so many other sites and programs, etc. that I don't have much time to post here. This site does not evolve/grow much but I still like it and try to post when I can.
