Ok, quick update, I first used MMJ Pain Cream March 2011 years ago, and got off prescription pain relief I was taking exactly to doctors prescription, but still wenntthrough withdrawals, but used the pain cream, and 1.2 a vicodin when I couldn't stand it anymore, was totally painkiller free within a month.
Then May 2011 I had a stroke, and ended up coming back to New Zealand in July 2011 to recover. MMJ is illegal here, so while I brought some cream 2 x 2oz containers back it ran out about Nov 2011, and had to go back on Painkillers.
Anywho, I got some herbs 3 weeks or so ago, and made more Pain cream, started using it immediately it was made, and stopped using painkillers cold turkey... well for a start it was cold turkey, but from one medication called Gaberpentin which is actually an epilepsy drug, which is supposed to be the holy grail of pain relief,
I have weaned myself down on them over the past months, cause they never did work, not even at 3200 mg a day, and waening down was fine,
but 18 hours after stopping taking it, I had started having epilepic fits, something I had never had before... since I live alone, I actually didn't know I was having them, I'd just wake up, peed in my pants, sometimes in bed, sometimes in my computer chair, sometimes on the floor, was only once a neighbour saw me fall, I found out I was fitting bigtime.
I also developed a electric shocks in my body, like having an electric fence inside my body. This went on for two weeks, went to doctor last week, and she said to start taking the Gaberpentin again. I have, but am breaking the capules apart, and cutting down on what's in them, I'm not going to take this shit forever. The fits and shocks have stopped which is good.
I was also taking a painkiller a very strong Codiene type drug called DHC, trying to cold turkey that was hellish as well. So did a quick taper off them, only taking 1.2 of 1 tab a day now, down from 6 a day over 3 weeks.
I've had chronic pain now for 18 years except for the short break when in San Diego, and when I first got home, has left me knowing there are better things than taking these bloody painkillers, I am using pain-cream, but oh how I would love someone to give me a massage with pain-cream.
I''m pretty bummed out, that I have an addiction to painkillers again and these darn Gaberpentin are wicked, reading online, the drug companies won't tell you but user forums I have read, say people have had to keep taking it long term to stop the fits. Many of them like me, it didn't ever work for them anyway, so the doctor just upped and upped the dose cause Pfizer said it was a wonder drug. Assholes
I guess i should be grateful I can take way less of them, but I'd rather be my best advertisement for my pain cream cause I know it does work by itself for both my chronic backpain from when I broke my back, and the fibro...
Oh well, even though no-one will probably read this, at least it's recorded somewhere, maybe someone looking for info on Pfizer's wonder drug Gaberpentin, and see how bad this shit is, and use MMJ Cream instead.
