Hi there,

Drop us a note so we know how you're doing...
Take care...

thx misty and tomskat!!!
sandstone i thoght given the fact that both gabapentin and sjw both affect brain chemistry there may be a problem..altho I didnt research it. thx 4 the info. sjw helped my underlying depression yrs ago. hoped it'd lift this black cloud. I feel soooo depressed,cry @ the drop of a dime, but other than this forum, which is invaluable, i still have done nothing to fix myself...sometimes i really feel its pointless. i know i self medicate, i know bad **** happens to everyone and they don't all use...but me ??? I feel like i dont wanna do the hard work the bandaids have helped for sooo many yrs. Mayb i'm not rational right now, idk...Thx again kind ppl!!!
by the way CONGRATS on day 10..
hi wannawean...i am 29 days off tramadol, so i know exactly what your going through..i still have a hard time with the mental part sometimes..even tough it has gotten better. Hang in there and dont give up...someone on here gave me advise to use the thomas recipe and get a good book. Im not a reader...but i used the bible and found my way through way clearer..good luck
Let me know if you want me to PM you regarding the website. You can read additional information about the drug interactions then..

Hi, I'm sorry the mean blues have gotten ahold of you; but I'm also glad that you have someone in mind to talk to.
One thing regarding the gabapentin and the st. johns wort - the drug interactions checker at drugs ******* lists this interaction as "moderate" - the three options being minor, moderate and severe.
Moderate is defined as "Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances". I would be very careful combining these two, or better yet leaving out the St. John's Wort. There are aLOT of drug interaction warnings with this particular drug. I know it's herbal, but you still have to be careful with it, and what you take with it.
Take good care of yourself, you're not alone, andplease keep posting if it helps.
Well wishes to you...
Sandy
