Go up to the "important information/stickies" and go to post #13 or 14, which lists the various meds tried/used for neuropathies. What works well for one, mite not for another...
I did not take well myself to neurontin..that others can is a blessing for them. My issues related to the mental disconnect between brain and mouth...I could not remember the ending of the sentence I was speaking halfway thru! It occurred often, or I'd simply fall asleep mid-sentence and wake up in a half hour and, well complete it! Then I'd go WHAT? Huh?
Sleeping for 14-16 hours a day wasn't exactly 'quality of life' either. Nor were the last straws...the hallucinations. Those were NOT fun. But then, I don't take well to melatonins, serotonins or any SSRI's SNSI's or the like...
Keppre [a I believe a MOSI{ I forget exactly}] works for me, tho some experience what's called a 'Keppra Rage' - I only experienced that when going on another med for a completely different issue [which is also notorious for 'mood changes'].

Here is the 'prescribing info' for Neurontin:

Pay attention to other meds compatibility pgs 12-13, Charts about epilepsy trial affects pages 18-22, and neuropathy trial effects pages 22-23 - For neuropathy the trial was relatively SMALL. Be alert to the fact that the drug manufacturers often use a wide variety of Synonyms for other more commonly used medical descriptions of side effects. That makes it up to YOU to find the right/best words that match what you are experiencing to what they REPORT. Tough calls at times. BUT IF I can do it? Any one can...just takes time and lots of patience. I graphed it out on PAPER as I wasn't computer literate at the time...and, it took a long time, but I made the time and learned lots! Even in, during and despite the old medicine Brain FOG!

Hopes this helps? I don't trust those medicine on-line sites to cross check s/e's They all indicate there are absolutely NO cross issues! There are cross issues with at least 2 dozen meds if you take your calcium with either your thyroid, cancer[my case] or anti-seizure pain meds! It's in that fine, fine print!

I don't take to it well, but If I'd no other choice? I guess it's better than nothing at all. You just wouldn't want to be on a road driving near me while I'm on it? Those hallucinations just mite kick in! - Good thoughts and such - j
