In reply to Neurontin Success Stories??, posted by becksA on September 7, 2004, at 21:10:41
> So far I've had moderate success with Neurontin, slowly improving....Can anybody tell me their success story if they have one, on this med? Also, what it was prescribed for. Thanks
The two major indications (as shown on the patient insert) for this drug are epilepsy and neuropathic pain. It was prescribed for the latter. When I had very painful herpes zoster (shingles) a few months ago, I took only 300 mg. before bed. The analgesic effect was remarkable and I slept better that night than any night i can remember. And I was quite relieved that I had had no adverse reactions, since I take 30 mg/day MAOI Parnate on an ongoing basis.
I myself would like to know if anyone has had success with Neurontin for other kinds of pain.
