hi, im suffering from degenerative disk and arthritus in my back and legs. im on hydrocodone, flexeril, and naproxin. ive now been prescribed neuronton because the pain in my legs has gotton so severe that at times i cant even stand up or walk. im concerned about the drousiness effect im reading about. if you take these drugs and have a full time physically demanding job please let me know how this effects you at work. any info wouid be appreciated.

thanks, dan w.

I have never taken Neurontin or Lyrica, but have taken hydro and Flexeril, and that combo can hit you pretty hard, I would think if you're able to handle those then the addition of Neurontin you would be able too also, but it might take you a couple of days adjusting to it, maybe at first if you find yourself too drowsy consider not taking the Flex until you get home, then work your way back up to it a little at a time.
Any trouble urinating? Hydro/Flex is a big culprit, tell your doc, he/she can help you out there.

I have taken neurotin and its never made me drowsy but not much does. Taking it with all the other meds might make you drowsy or It could make you drowsy on its own why dont you try to take it the 1st time on a non-work day. Is your pain chronic? If so I wonder why the dr doesnt have you on a controlled release pain med instead of hydro.

thenk you for your responce. the hydro and flexeril do fairly well for the pain untill my legs start hurting. my back pain is cronic but for the most pretty well controlled by the meds im using.

thanks dan
