Neurotin Anyone?

[Jim M2]

This med seems to be working for me. I'm really happy about it. After one month I'm still on a low dose of 900mg/day (3600mg/day is max).

neurontin didn't work for me... lyrica was the best. good luck to you and glad it is working!!

Jim,
I've been using Neurontin since 1998 and it's helped with my burning pain greatly. Been on stable dose of 1800mg/day. Have tried taking it down lower but symptoms recur so am just glad I get the relief I do with this dose.

Hope you continue to do well~ Maria

I had too many side effects on 3000mg of Neurontin a day and switched to Lyrica a several months ago. Did will at 300 mg daily but again the side effects interfered too much with daily life, specifically, my thought processes, concentration and eyesight.

My pm suggested acupuncture which I began about 2 months ago. I'm down to 200 mg daily and if I can, will reduce weekly until I'm off of it. I also reduced Celebrex to once daily instead of twice but time will tell. I'm skeptically hopeful.

I tried neuronton a few years ago. It worked on my pain radiating down the leg but made me very sick and dizzy. I now just do without but surgery has helped my leg pain.

I have drowsiness for a couple hours if I take 600mg at once, otherwise I'm not having side effects at 900mg/day. It seems to take the edge off most of my pain generators.

A friend at work started on Lyrica. Unfortunately it does nothing for her.
