I agree with Larry, Neurontin is very viable for neuropathic pain. There shouldn't be any adverse effects or contraindications, other than drowsiness; you can check with your doctor. I suggest you get onto a low dose, perhaps 300 mg./day as soon as possible, and see how you do with it.
I'm curious--what has your pain come from? It sounds to me like it might be sciatic.
