Anyone taking Theramine for Pain Management?

NCGAL63

I was reading an article about Theramine being an alternative to Ibuprophen and other NSAIDS with it being a medical food designed to increase nutritional requirements associated with chronic pain syndromes. Supposedly there are no known drug interactions. I have an upcoming rummy apt. and was wondering if I should bring it up and possibly get a prescription for this. Any comments or suggestions on this drug would be greatly appreciated.  Wishing everyone a painfree day out there !

Theramine is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated medical food designed to address the increased nutritional requirements associated with chronic pain syndromes[1] and low back pain.[2] Theramine promotes the production of the neurotransmitters that help manage and improve the sensory response to pain and inflammation. Theramine is available by prescription only.

Theramine is manufactured according to FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). All of the ingredients in Theramine are classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.

Theramine is a specialized formula that consists of: choline bitartrate, L-arginine, L-histidine HCL, L-glutamine, L-serine, GABA, griffonia seed (95% 5HTP), whey protein hydrolysate, grape seed extract (85% polyphenols), cinnamon, and cocoa extract (6% theobromine).

From what I have read, it is very expensive. And, insurance companies balk at covering it. I'd guess it falls into the experiment category.

Fantod, thanks for the drug detail. I was curious to see what was in the formula, but now I'm not so interested in checking up on it. I for one can't take GABA b/c of the severe stomach pain it gives me. I use to take something similar for my feet from the podiatrist, it was a medical food vitamin for people with nerve damage. It was so expensive and never helped me. In fact, it raised my B vitamin levels too high and the neurologist said that can also cause nerve pain. Of course it can.

    I'm alive, I'm sleeping like a rock, and for some reason I wanted cherry juice so that seems to be helping. (??? Weirdo that I am.)***Infamous therapies over history:1. The Attic.
