What happens if you take Gabapentin with oxycodone?

Answer 1

Gabapentin is made to heighten the performance of opiotes such as oxcodone. When you take gabapentin (nuerontin) in rendission of pain meds it makes the pain meds feel stronger and last longer due to its neurological aspects. Gabapentin is used for Back pain or other pain problems whether it be alone or used on the side of another med. Gabapentin sets off neurological impulses in the brain and when you have pain, those impulses do not fire because the message is being sent to your brain previously to taking this med saying well gee i am hurting here so once gabapentin comes along it shuts off or stops those impulses from sparking until the med wears off. I take 900 mg 3 times a day and it is non habit forming. I also take 20 mg of Oxycontin twice aday so i can safely say that it just makes the oxycodone or oxycodone HCL last longer and work stronger. So in the long run its fine to take the 2 meds together.

Answer 2

You will feel the medications a lot stronger together and it helps with the pain better than just taking Oxycodone by its self. I took a 10 mg of Oxycodone and and a 100 mg of Gabapentin. The effects last a lot longer.

Answer 3

Yes you can. Hydrocodone increases the effectiveness of gabapentin but will also decrease the effectiveness of the hydrocodone..... you will still get relief from the Hydrocodone just not add much as if you took it by itself. But I do repeat it will increase the effectiveness of the gabapentin. Hope this helps. I know this from experience

Answer 4

Mixing Gabapentin and hydrocodone is not recommended as it will increase the side effects common to both drugs. Drowsiness, dizziness and difficulty concentrating may become more pronounced when mixing these two drugs.
