I have been taking Neurontin for many years now, it's helped enormously. So I was pretty shocked to have a Kaiser PsyD tell me that "It's no better than placebo." I asked "No better than placebo for treating *what*?" (She wouldn't tell me.)
It also stopped the chronic headaches I'd had 4-5 days a week since childhood.
What is this current prejudice against Neurontin about? I have put three people on it who have done extraordinarily well -- people who did not get any benefit from ADs. So it doesn't work for bipolar, so what? Why is the medical profession so down on this drug right now, while continuing to hand out addictive drugs like tramadol and Effexor like candy?
