| Third-line therapy, reserved for desperate cases, is gabapentin or tiagabine. |
| Determination of gabapentin in serum using solid phase extraction and gas-liquid chromatography. |
| During hospitalization, the patient received enteral feeding, cefuroxime, docusate, dronabinol, gabapentin, metolazone, nafcillin, and morphine. |
| The most useful drugs are anticonvulsants, especially gabapentin and carbamazepine, and tricyclic antidepressants, especially amitriptyline. |
| If appropriate dosages of a tricyclic antidepressant or gabapentin do not provide adequate relief, strong opioids such as oxycodone, morphine, or methadone may be required. |
| Use carbamazepine, gabapentin, or lamotrigine for neuropathic pain instead of the more toxic tricyclic antidepressants. |
