Yup, basically the movie plot of Awakenings. Also, a family member of mine, whom was not catatonic, tried it for post-stroke fatigue/pain/neuropathy/brain fog to get away from gabapentin&pregabalin.
- caycep 8y agoIt was levodopa for Awakenings, no? Unless I'm remembering the scene w/ Robin Williams and the lecturer wrong
- finnh 8y agoL-dopa, yup. I don’t think GP meant actually ambien. Also GP if you check this - what are the downsides of gabapentin your relative was trying to get away from? I thought that was a fairly benign drug, even for long-term use.
- philote 8y agoI knew someone who took it for a while, and drowsiness, memory issues, balance issues, and depression were all pretty bad alone, much less combined. And getting off of it has to be gradual due to rebound pain.
