I take Gralise which is time release Gabepentin. I take 2 600mg tablets before bed so I sleep through the haze. On a bad day I take an extra 400mg Gabepentin.
The good news is it works really well for me. The bad news is it took me over a year to get the insurance company to approve it. There were coupons but even at that it was significantly more expensive.
I tried Lyrica and it seemed promising but once again when we tried to get the dosage changed the insurance company caused me to stay with the Gralise.

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.
