Yes, I used to take it. It works pretty good. It's a good choice to try for sure!!

I used it for about 5 years. I had to stop because I maxed out on the dosage. It is a drug that you have to increase dose over time. But like I said, it lasted me 5 years.

You have to start with lower doses and build up...but you can do so pretty quick, because you'll know soon whether a dose will work or not.

Definitely worth asking your doctor about Rxing for you. For severe cases, sometimes more than one drug is used together. You might ask about staying on the nortriptyline while you start the Neurontin. Some cannot be taken together...I'm not sure about these two, but can't hurt to ask and whether you would benefit from taking more then one...as many patients here do.
