It is nerve based. Pudendal nueralgia.
My pain level is lower in the morning, and i wish I had my students in the morning and ended at 2. My pain increases as the day goes on and it seems to be really noticable and painful around 4 or 5 oclock.
I read that the thearaputic dose for Neurontin is around 1800mg or more, depends on the individual, so i will call my dr on Monday to see if he can in crease my dosage more. I just wondered once i get to the desired or theraputic dose, how long does one stay on the dosage to see its effectiveness? Would I stay on 1800mg for 4 weeks? I also notice that many people take a tricyclcic antidepressant with an anticonvulsant for nerve pain... would I ask for that? I know it is trial and error, it is just hard to have patience when you can't sit and you have burning pain.

thank you so much for responding. i hope you are doing better with your pain as well. I don't know what my goal dosage is.. it might be 1800. I started out at 300 for a week, went to 600 for 2 days and then my dr upped it to 900 ( just been on it for 3 days). I know i am impatient, but I have the burning at 900mg and really think more is needed.. although I am not the expert. So it has been about 12 days thus far on the meds. I can tolerate it well, so I thought it would behoove me to see about an increase. I heard about Elavil as well relieving some pain... and I know it can make you tired. I really appreciate your response, and have to see how things work. It is hard to not get frustrated. I don't even know how I ended up with this illness, although it may have been from muscle spasms and chronic constipation irritating the nerve.
I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with the Lyrica. So you did like the Elavil for nerve pain? What dosage did you take?

thank you
