Anticonvulsants
I "remember" trying the neurontin, ramped up to 1,200mg per day and was in an Altzheimer's type state. No relief from the traveling pain from the back down the leg unfortunately. Then, ramped down.
Eventually, the pain generators were found and surgical intervention was needed (ADR).
For the type of nerve pain that I had - it didn't work. However, if we are comparing or doing some kind of benchmarking - it has been my experience that many patients who experience the burning type pain tend to be more successful in obtaining pain relief from the neurontin. Paindoc, does this mirror any of your experiences with this drug?
For me it didn't work out. It did for Maria. I must say though - it was worth a try at the time.
