The article was quite revealing. It seems that the Pfizer marketing
execs play real hardball, like a Hollywood Corporate Scandal Movie.
Even though the article seems to lean on the ineffectiveness of Neurontin
for off-label purposes and especially for neuropathic pain, the fact is that
I was taking it for over 6 yrs for PN, and believe me - if I missed a dose
I knew it! It took pain levels from a 8-9 down to a 3-6.
But I became tolerant of it, and switched to another Pfizer med, Lyrica (after trying a number of other drugs). The Lyrica is more effective, and brings my levels down to a 2-4, ......... even a 1, sometimes.
Doing business the way they do is reprehensible.
I'd rather not, but the drug works for me!
