This drug has really helped me a lot with my nerve damage. Before I thought I was going to climb the wall. I would recommend it to anyone with nerve damage or having problems with nerve pain.

I was injured and damaged the soft tissues of my left ankle. After several years, it became obvious the nerves had been damaged as well. When the pain began to dominate my life to the point I could no longer work, my physician prescribed several medications but none of them worked till we tried Neurontin.

It helps a great deal with the nerve pain specifically, including the pain that shoots from the ankle up into the hip or down into the foot. It doesn't affect the muscle pain, of course. It also does not affect the paresthesias (tingling, twitching, burning or cold sensations) but those are more bizarre than actually painful.

I do find that the medication makes me very sleepy, especially when I had to increase my dose or change from one generic formulation to another. If you are taking generics, try to minimize switching between brands (my old brand was discontinued).

I was prescribed Neurontin for trigeminal neuralgia. I was suffering from stabbing pains in my right cheek and jaw. My doctor originally thought I had a dental problem and sent me to a dentist. He ran lots of tests and tried lots of treatments, but none worked. Finally, he referred me to a neurologist. She diagnosed me with trigeminal neuralgia, a problem with my trigeminal nerve. I took a higher dose of gabapentin until the pain was gone, and now I'm on a lower dose so it doesn't come back. I had no side effects, and I am very happy that I was finally given a proper diagnosis.

I have fibromyalgia and was prescribed gabapentin. It took awhile to get up to a dose that was effective (over 1000 mg), but this drug did reduce the pain a considerable amount. The only side effect was that I gained 40 pounds, and that is why my doctor took me off of it. I miss the good effect it had because the muscle relaxer I am using now is not nearly as good. On the other hand, getting rid of the 40 pounds is proving to be a difficult prospect. One of the side effects of this drug is sleepiness, however, my doctor told me if I titrated up (start small and work my way up to a therapeutic dose), then I would avoid that side effect. It took me about three months to get to the right dose, but I did not experience sleepiness.

After being in a car accident, I started to have shooting pains through my left arm where the impact from the accident had been. The other medication I had been prescribed wasn't helping it. My doctor then prescribed the Neurontin.

Once I started to take the Neurontin and it kicked in, it helped immediately. The pain in my arm completely went away.

I had no side effects while on Neurontin and was very pleased with my experience.

I have been given this medication to help with nerve pain brought on by the demylation caused by MS. For me, especially in the eyes, it has helped to control the pain on those nerves. I notice that I do get somewhat tired on it, but I imagine that will go away in time. I have had no other issues with it though, and it really has seemed to help. I was told by my nurologist to take it as needed for the attacks on my nerves.

After under-going 3 surgeries, I was left with some minor nerve damage and temporarily had shooting pains throughout one side of my body & tingling in my feet and fingers. My surgeons put me on the drug for short period of time, and it seemed to get rid of all the shooting pain and tingling.

I take this medication for treatment of RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) in my right foot. I began at a small dose and have gradually worked up to 900 mg three times per day. I have had positive results by taking this medication, but my condition is not completely under control yet. The medication helps to subside some of the pain the condition causes, but does not act like a pain killer.

The only negative side effect I have encountered is decreased memory. I find myself unable to think of common words or formulate sentences as I did two years ago. Aside from the slight memory problems, I have not seen any other side effects that would prevent me from taking this medication. I think it's a useful medication used in conjunction with other treatment options for RSD.

I was prescribed for nerve ending problems. I felt like I was being stung by bees and after starting on the medication the pain has quite.
