Neurontin (gabapentin): Tried for several months. Wasn't sure if problem had resolved or drug was actually working. Stopped SLOWLY and within weeks noticed return of symptoms - starting back tomorrow - slowly up to full dosage.

gabapentin: This is the only drug that works for me. I use it in a combination with a holistic remedy (Nervefix) as well as 500 mg a day of Alpha lipoic acid and chelated magnesium and a host of other herbal medicines for various other complications and for general health. I am trying to reduce the Neurontin, but it is very difficult as it does keep the neuropathy at bay.

Neurontin (gabapentin): I have used Neurontin for more than 15 years. I have discovered that it is a great ongoing sleep therapy. The added sleep it grants me is a fantastic help with the neuropathy.

gabapentin: I have taken gabapentin for about 10 years for Peripheral Neuropathy. For several years I took the maximum dosage per day. I found my memory slipping and becomming more severe as time passed. I finally quit for about two months, only to return to 300 mg four times daily. This stopped almost all of the memory problems and the lighter dosage keeps the pain down to a low roar. Gabapentin is the best I have found for the pain.

gabapentin: I have a c6-c7 compressed disk that has been causing severe arm pain. The pain medicines didn't help at all but after being prescribed gabapentin the pain has completely dissappeared.

Neurontin (gabapentin): This medicine helps me a lot. I have also found a good side effect from the drug. I feel much better and more active and motivated.

gabapentin: I have been taking Gabapentin for approximately 18 months. The reason for this is following "botched" surgery, I developed a haematoma 5.5cms. I had further surgery to remove the haematoma as it was lodged in my abdominal wall. I have been left with a neuroma and neuropathic pain. The only side effects I seem to have suffered are a gain in my weight and I cannot drink alcohol as it makes me feel sick but the drug has brought me tremendous relief from pain.
