It may help you sleep better, though.
Until you are on a daily regimen of neurontin that keeps a minimum of 1800-2400mgs a day 24/7, in regular intervals of say,
400-600mgs 4xday - I would not expect to see any help.
I was on 4200mgs/day of Neurontin for over 6 yrs when I switched to Lyrica, and am now on 200mgs of Lyrica 3xday along with
a pain killer(Tramadol/Ultram).

nide44: You are 100% correct. The neurontin has helped me to sleep, although the first night I got up to go to the bathroom and was EXTREMELY dizzy. After that, not so bad. Just trying to hold off on any additional meds until I can't stand it anymore, maybe that is the wrong approach?
