The best way to describe Nuerotin or Gabapetin is you really don't feel them work like a traditional pain reliever. You don't notice immediate relief like something you take for a head ache or muscle pain. You notice they work when you miss a dose or are late for a dose and the pain and other symptoms increase.
It might take weeks before you notice them working and longer to get used to the foggy feeling side effect.
I take Gralise which is time release Nuerotin once a day before bed so I sleep through the fog.
Hope this helps

My PN is considered Critical Illness Neuropathy. In October 2010 I left for a golf trip not feeling well, woke up in a hospital 21 days later. I was in an induced coma for treatment of Legioneers Disease. First day out of ICU I noticed the pain in my feet and as they say the rest is history.
