gabapentin: I started trying gabapentin for fibromyalgia and it has worked really well - I had been on small doses of amitriptyline but that was awful - made me feel stunned in the morning. Gabapentin, on the other hand, has a shorter half-life and I wake feeling OK.

Neurontin (gabapentin): I had pain in my head with shingles. After taking one pill the pain went away, the next day I went to work for a few hours.

Neurontin (gabapentin): It relaxes me so that I no longer hold my upper body rigid and the pain is lessened. I am able to get much needed REM sleep.

Neurontin (gabapentin): My doctor started me on this after I had crazy nerve pain due to shingles. It works amazing for me! When I don't take it or it's time for my dose it feels like I've been shot in the area where my shingles were worst. So I have nothing but great things to say about this medicine for me.
