Anybody else having problems with these, and if so, what medications are you taking?
I was on 1200 mg of neurontin / day, but have been taken off of that in favor of tegretol to control the seizures. I've been in chronic pain for the past 3-4 weeks and I really can't take it much longer.

I was on Neurontin myself for a while and it didn't seem to do much for me except make it hard for me to think clearly. I called it morontin. I now take topamax. I didn't think that it helped that much until I stopped taking it. About 2 weeks later I was running to CVS to refill the script. I had done the lyrica and tegretol as well. For me the topamax has been the best, but everyone is different. I must say though, that nothing makes me headache free. The meds make it where I'm not laid up in the bed everyday with one so bad that I can't function.
