In reply to Question about Neurontin?, posted by Racer on October 13, 2006, at 1:55:54
I have taken Neurontin for a couple of years for chronic cervical pain. After cervical spine surgery that corrected the major problem (bone spur stabbing into nerve root), I continue to have some problems with other areas of cervical spine. I currently take 300 mg. in the a.m. and 600 mg. at night. It helps some with the pain and helps me to sleep through the night so that the pain does not awaken me. I am told I am taking a very low dose of Neurontin. Some people take up to 1500 mg. or more for chronic pain.
My psychiatrist says that it is not really effective for depression which I also have, and I would have to agree. I take Lamictal, 100 mg., for depression.
