I was on the same meds as you for several years with NO relief. Your story sounds so hauntingly familiar. I got off the Neurontin (advise from my shrink)& it was replaced with Percocet for pain, Cortisone injections, several each month, changed all meds. Went on lexepro for depression, Changed my diet to All Organic, Did Yoga & PT 3x weekly....

For me, this worked. I had a terrible time with the Neurontin. I have been on these meds now for 9 years & have cut down my dosage of pain meds myself by one half. I know everyone says they so addicting but for me it was opposite. Don't misunderstand, I still have pain, every day, every minute..but I can tolerate it much better. Everyday is not terrible. I get that 6 hrs. of pain relief several times a week that is said needed to re-set your internal pain threshold.
I hope this helped..
