Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Welcome Bobbie! I think i tried Neurontin a while back - being that i don't recall anything about it tells me that obviously it didn't work for me. But it appears that we're all different and one thing may work for one person and not the other. Does it help you?? Hope you make yourself at home and enjoy your new family here! alooooooha! jaana Neurontin Hi to all. I am new to this board was really glad to find it.

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I have been on neurontin for the past year and a half along with ultracettes. I take 1200 mg. three times a day but I started at a new pain doc monday and he took me off the ultracettes and put me on ultram 50 mg. 4 times a day. Along with that I take 200 mg. of celebrex twice a day and skelaxin 800 mg. three times a day. Seems like alot of medicine, but along with the injection in my spine monday he gave me I have been almost pain free for the past 2 days! I'm not sure if it's the medicine change, the injection, or a combo of both. But it's sure nice getting some sleep without the hip pain! in Ohio > Hi to all.
