Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Neurontin is often prescribed for the pain of neuropathy. When I went to the pain clinic where my dx of Fibromyalgia was made the doctor in charge told me that the neurontin was also the correct painkiller for Fibromyalgia. So I had been recommended by a diabetic consultant and an anaesthetist to take neurontin.. a versatile drug:) Penny Shrewsbury UK Re: neurontin Carol, Neurontin is an anti-convulsant.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I've been taking 2 X 300mg Neurontin for about 2 months and have not noticed any help - actully pain has been getting steadily worse. It's also supposed to help with periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) which I've had for years. I was on Clonazepam (Klonapin (sp?)) from 2000 until aobut 2 months ago. I had to keep upping the dose until the Doc figured out that it was NOT working any more (sleep test showed an average of 40 arousals per hour at night) AND was causing me to conk out during the day - while driving, at teh computer etc. I actually was tested for narcolepsy. I'm going to the Doc on Tuesday of next week and will ask if he thinks I should up my Neurontin. > Hi all, > My pain dr. gave me 3 samples of neurontin 100mg.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Carol, Your doctor does not know what she is talking about. You have to build up Neurotin in your system and your body takes time to adjust. You won't notice right away!! wtf? It takes about 2-4 weeks to see any change and you might not notice anything at 100mg. I'm at 900 and it does help with my sleep. Haven't noticed a change in pain levels but my doctor says I can move up to 1200mg next. You can safely take up to 3500mg. Whitney <Hi all, My pain dr. gave me 3 samples of neurontin 100mg.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Umm, Neurontin is now prescribed for those with severe amounts of pain. It's used to help treat sleep problems and low levels of pain. Please don't make a statement like this unless you know what you're talking about! Whitney >Neurontin is an anti-convulsant.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 HI Carol. I am no expert on FB or meds. I have been off handedly been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and am not at all sure what that means and am still in research gear.... but... my thinking is that every drug we take has side effects, and we may already be sensitive to drugs. If you felt nothing with the sample......why would you want to take the drug? This Fibro is a nasty set of symptoms it seems and I am not understanding what is goin on with our bodies.. but I for one am going to take as few drugs as possible........unless I try one that realllllllly helps.. just my thoughts. ((((hugs)))) .........(how I wish I could take everyone's pain away) dash neurontin Hi all, My pain dr. gave me 3 samples of neurontin 100mg. She said if they work I would feel it right away and to get the script filled. I did not feel any different so I did not fill the script. Maybe I should?

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 ---Pam, I also have Periodic Limb Movement Disorder and my doctor gives me Mirapex. If I remember to take it correctly, I don't have any problems. I also have Restless Leg Syndrome and the Mirapex corrects that.
