Anyone had any experience with this?
Since I started taking neurontin, I have severe leg cramps. It seems to happen mainly when I increase my dosage. Last night was terrrible after I took my 3rd 300 mg tablet for the day. I was on 200's. But I believe the neurontin has been helping me as I feel all around better but the feet pain has not lessened. I have pinched nerves and trauma resultingin PN. Am 71 and the PN began in 1990 or so. I got my feet nerves damaged in the Army back in 1954,
Well this may be aliittle diffrerent,but I have taken requip and all that stuff for restless leg(while in opiate w/d,and after) the best thing for me have been Zanaflex which is a muscle relaxer...See if the Dr. will give that a try instead..Good luck!
I take 4mg as often as I need it..Its cheap,and works wonders in my case..
