Gabapentin is a prescribed drug for the pain caused by shingles (a skin rash caused by the herpes virus). It is also used to control the onset of seizures and epileptic episodes in adults and children of more than 3 years of age. It also helps control the neural pain experienced in trigeminal neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and restless leg syndrome. This drug is structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), however, the exact mechanism by which this works is unknown.

Works for PTSD Anxiety

After reading a PubMed article about PTSD and how successful Gabapentin is showing, I decided to try it at the recommended dosage for PTSD. I cannot describe how amazing this medication is for the anxiety/dread that I feel every day as soon as I wake up. Taking gabapentin and maeng da green vein kratom is saving my life, especially during the pandemic when everything was shut down and I couldn't see a couselor.

I highly recommend Buy-Pharma. I've been a repeat customer for about 10 years and in all that time, ordering every 2-3 months, I only once had an issue with the mail, which Robert quickly took care of. The prices are pennies compared to the cost of medication in the U.S. and the quality is amazing.

Do not hesitate to order from Buy-Pharma, you'll be so happy you did.
