Questions regarding medications

Post by terre »

I take Neurontin and Clonazepam for Fibro and was wondering if anyone knows if either would affect MC?

I take Ultram as needed and I saw where that med is okay to take with MC.

While diarrhea is listed as a rare side effect of Clonazepam, neither of those drugs are commonly associated with the development of MC, so that if any risk exists, it is probably relatively low. In general, in the case of medications that are not widely prescribed to a huge percentage of the population, not enough is known about them to reliably rate the risks of developing a relatively poorly-understood disease such as MC.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

If you give up gluten, your fibro may get better.

Google gluten and fibromyalgia together. This is just one of the sites.

I think Neurontin may be a drug I asked to be discontinued for my Mom. I don't belong to the Worst Pills site right now so can't check there.

Here's a link from Tex from another thread that came up when I searched the PP site. http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.a ... =NEURONTIN
