I tried Neurontin for a couple of weeks, and it helped marginally. Doc then put my on Lyrica, which I took for 3 weeks with pretty dang good results. Then I had a freak allergic reaction (rash/hives, breathing difficulty,swollen face, etc). which sent me to the ER on a friday AND saturday night. i would have gone back sunday, but my wife didn't want me to go alone, and i wasn't about to bother someone at 2am to watch the baby. The dr's wanted me to stop the lyrica in case that was the problem. that stunk, because i'd been getting results w/ minimal side effects. now, i'm taking 500mg 3x, 1000mg 1x daily of Keppra. wheeeeeeeeeeee.
