For Pain "I've been on Neurontin for almost 4 months, and it has given me relief for chronic pelvic pain. 300mg at night and 100mg mid-day was the initial dose, and at present, I'm on 300mg at night only. It has made the pain bearable, however, the side effects have been lethargy, headaches, aching eyes, and dreaming so vivid it leaves me hung over. I'm hoping this will improve with time. It has helped with the pain."

For Migraine "Suffered from migraines my whole life, but the last 6-8 months they have been every day, all day. I have tried so many medicines with no relief, and recently my doctor put me on Neurontin. This medicine works. I am on a low dose of 600 mg at night before bed, and my days have been so much better. I still get some headaches, but not nearly the bad migraines I was getting. The doctor is going to increase my dose slowly until she gets me on the dose that works the best for me. But as for now, I am slowly getting my life back."

For Migraine "I have been taking Neurontin (Gabapentin) for over a year now, can't remember exactly how long, but it has helped me to function better, although I still have a headache on a daily basis. That sounds contradictory, but when I don't take it, I can hardly function. I do have memory problems lately, and I'm usually tired, but it's better than not having it."

For Postherpetic Neuralgia "I am on Gabapentin for nerve damage due to chemotherapy. I am now up to 600mg three times a day. I am not having a lot of relief and have a lot of dizziness, joint pain, headaches, and unsteadiness."
