I'm usually on the peripheral neuropathy forum and what you're describing sounds like what is described as vibration over there. I get it sometimes on a very small area of my body, sometimes a large area like my entire trunk. For me it usually only lasts a few seconds. From what I understand, neurontin is used for pain rather than other sensations. I haven't tried it yet, but have found doctors seem eager to prescribe it.
