[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 3423867, member: 45551"] It will do that to some folks. I have to say it does work for me but I'm at 500mcg BID. I have been able to drop from 600mg of gabapentin 5 times a day (yep you read that right) to 300mg TID most days -- I'd say probably 95% of the time. It took me 8 weeks or so to go from the 50mcg BID to the 500mcg BID dose of Belbuca I found consistent reliable pain management at. I also had some problems with headache at first. (I can actually tell you the difference in what kind of headaches I have and which ones I have causing me problems on any given day now. I couldn't do that 40 years ago.) Those headaches were treatable with aspirin and I don't get headaches from the Belbuca any longer. That side effect passed in the first couple of weeks for me. Eta: Don't give up just yet. I'd keep at it until your MMJ card comes in. I will say this -- the pain doc will drop you when she learns you have a card. So ... My advice would be keep trying her suggestions until your card gets here. You might get some relief ... And if you dont ... Well ... Then at least you will have another option to go to. Everyone's pain is different ... And different things work for different people. MJ works on my mingraines but not my cluster headaches. The regimen I'm on for cluster headaches also works on my migraines and headaches the muscle spasms in my neck cause. Plus I can only do MJ at night because I'm worthless as tits on a boar hog after using. My pain meds treat my pain and leave me functional. So I stick with pain management and no MMJ card for me for now. That might change in the future if the cluster headaches and the neuropathy resolve at some point in time. [/QUOTE]
