Re: Methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) and Neurontin (Gabapentin)

[Guest guest]

My mother took methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis. She also has CMT but I

don't remember methotrexate doing much for her at all. Honestly, I don't think

she *has* rheumatoid arthritis -- they never found the factor in the blood

(whatever it's called). That

doesn't definitively rule out rheumatoid arthritis though. I really think that

it's her CMT and not rheumatoid arthritis at all.

Have you looked up the max dosage for neurontin on the internet? Does the 3200

mg help him? If yes, it's probably okay (since his doc prescribed it) but if

it's stopped helping the pain and that's why he keeps increasing it, perhaps he

should try something different. Lyrica or Topamax has helped members on

this list.
