6 weeks of naltrexone (50 mg/day) plus gabapentin (up to 1,200 mg/day), followed by 10 weeks of naltrexone alone. Placebo. All participants received medical management. Over the first 6 weeks, those receiving naltrexone plus gabapentin had a longer interval to heavy drinking than those taking only naltrexone.
Gabapentin also had preliminary efficacy as an add-on to naltrexone; in a trial of 150 alcohol-dependent subjects randomized to naltrexone (50 mg/day, n = 50) alone, naltrexone and gabapentin (up to 1,200 mg/day, n = 50) or double placebo (n = 50), the combined naltrexone/gabapentin group delayed the time to first HDD and decreased the number

Combining gabapentin and naltrexone may also help counteract some naltrexone side effects, such as insomnia and mood problems. 7 Finally, gabapentin can ease initial alcohol withdrawal symptoms and make it easier for people to transition to daily naltrexone or the Sinclair Method.

This story is great fun; it's sexy too. I especially enjoyed the heroine/narrator's personality, including her fairly strong—but decidedly quirky—ethical principles. I do feel sorry for her uncle, though. He got left out of the action entirely. Perhaps there will be a Part 3? Fine with me, if so.
Not much good news. Went to my neuropathist on Wednesday for a series of tests. 'Yes', I have nerve damage and 'no', the doctor looking at the results couldn't understand why. Essentially, they ran an escalating electric current from various spots on my lower leg and foot to toes to see how I responded. I highly recommend this as a means of torture.
On the downside, I am becoming resistant to my pain medication, so life sucks coming and going. My psychiatrist upped my Gabapentin from 300 Mg to 400 Mg [3x a day] and it isn't helping. Woot? I'd kill for a decent night's sleep.
Thank you for asking. I really wish I had better news.
