I worked up to a dose of 900 mg of Gabapentin 3x/day for about 6 months. I did have a side effect of some weight gain (sugar craving!!) but that was it. Unfortunately it never really helped my myofascial pain or fibro. I switched to Lyrica 300 mg/day a few months ago. Only side effect is constipation.
Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, giving them a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, so they become cations and have a net positive charge. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons, forming anions that have a net negative charge.
Ionic bonds are formed when atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons. Chlorine is in a group of elements having seven electrons in their outer shells (see Figure 6). Members of this group tend to gain one electron, acquiring a charge of -1.
