Neurontin has helped a great deal with the pain. I do feel however that it has made me scatter brained... and I no longer feel that it is safe for me to drive a vehicle. Published: September 21, 2007 ::

I would not be able to move if it wasn't for this drug. Published: September 19, 2007 ::

I could not sleep without the aid of a sleeping pill before I started taking this drug...It has really helped me with the pain. Published: September 22, 2007 ::

For me to feel the effectivness large doses have been needed (400mg 3x's daily) Can be bothersome, always taking pills. Published: September 18, 2007 ::

I have taken Neurontin for years. I take the generic now. It helps with my bipolar illness, sleep, and menopause. It helps with fibromyalgia. It continues to work for me, with no lessening of effectiveness. I have been on it about six years. Published: May 22, 2008 ::

great after many side effects with estrogens. Having surgical menopause and severe hot flashes and night sweats and no sleep this has been very effective for me and no more nasty estrogens to take!!! Published: November 23, 2007 ::

neurotin has helped with the hot flashes very much. i cannot use hormone replacement therapy because of i have coronary artery dx. the reason that i was given neurotin to begin with was neuropathy in my feet but i had noticed a decrease in the hot flashes while taking it. i had also read in prevention magazine that it would help with menopause symptoms.

I take this, off label, for headache or head pain from severe muscle spasms of the cervical spine muscles. I am pleased to see that a sister drug Lyrica has now been approved for fibromyalgia because I believe it works on this pain as well. I have osteoarthritis in the spine, ankles, hands and elbows. I suffered for 2 years with horrendous headaches that physicians called "migraines", I did not have migraines my headaches generate in the sub-occipital region at the base of my head. The headache does not carry the characteristics of migraine nor are the headaches in my head they are outside of the head, not pulsing no vision issues. I suspected that this helps with my osteoarthrits pain as well. After Botox injections in the neck muscles my pain spec. told me to discontinue the Neurontin, slowly. I did and noticed a return of muscle and joint pain. I started it back up when the Botox wore off and I am continuing to take it even though I had another set of Botox injections in the paraspinal muscles. The muscles go into spasm and cannot be un-spasmed, they then trap the occipital nerves which exit through the muscles in the back of the head. It is a distinct headache lasting from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks. Anytime my neck and head are manipulated: PT, examination by doctor, head pain returns with vengence. This can even happen when the Botox is working. This medication is fairly safe and if the dose is too high you can back off. It is virtually impossible to overdose with this med. If dizziness and tiredness is too much consider taking the higher dose at bedtime not during the day. I find the dizziness, tiredness and double vision go away after about 10 days of taking the higher dose. Just give it time. Published: January 03, 2008 ::
