My Pain Management Doctor put me on Gabapentin (Neurontin) just after I was diagnosed with RSD and I too, don't think that it helped. If anything, I think it made me worse as I had to deal with even more fatigue than normal. The RSD spread from my left leg to my right arm whilst I was on the Neurontin so I personally, don't feel that it can 'put a spread to a halt or prevent it from happening altogether'! As we all know, RSD will do whatever it wants, when it wants.

It is an interesting article though - thank you for sharing it with us all. I have spoken to some people who have had positive results from the Neurontin so I guess everyone of us with RSD is different and no two people react the same!
