Thanks for the link, Silly! And thanks for all the other info. from you all. I had no idea Neurontin was so widely prescribed for so many things. FYI, it is very effective for my neuropathic pain. When I first started taking it, I had a sense of well-being and a surge of energy which I attributed to the decreased pain, but I suppose it could have been due to the other qualities that Neurontin has. The energy and sense of well-being peetered quite a bit, but it is still working for the pain. Wish you all well.
