Yes. When I describe to her what I observe in Boo, she thinks it is pain. My mom actually takes Neurontin (gapapentin) for her fibromyalgia, and she swears it is the only thing that works. I've read that gabapentin is both an analgesic (for nerve pain) and an anticonvulsant (for seizure activity), so I'm not sure why she would want to use both gabapentin and amantadine together. I would think the gabapentin alone would be enough.
Does the vet think he's in pain?
Thanks. It does seem to have a lot of uses. Yes, that is my thought as well. I would think, though, that after trying one drug and it doesn't work, that we would stop it. That's what I'm going to say about the pred when I talk to her today. I don't see the point of keeping Boo on it if it's not helping.If you Google amantadine, Stanford School of Medicine, and "what meds" you'll see a lot of uses for amantadine in humans. It looks to me like she's wanting to try these medications somewhat diagnostically.
Thoughts?
