I take Neurontin for nerve pain. For me it works well. I do get some breakthrough pain but it is manageable and far better than what things were like before I started the medication.

Another med that I tried that worked extremely well for nerve pain was Cymbalta. I was only on it for 3 days as I ended up having other side effects from it.

May be you can get in to see your PCP while you are in between neuros.
