Everyone waiting for an answer from HWRSD, well I don't think she is going to answer. Eitther, like what happens to me alot, I totally forget which threads here I have posted on, so consequently, I don't make it back to threads I have posted on to see if anyone had a question or not to what I did post. So either she has forgotten what she posted, or that she even did post to this thread. Or she can't find where she might have gotten the info about Neurontin staying in the body for 3 yrs. I would like to have seen where that statement came from also tho. BUT then even if it does stay in the body that long, which I doubt it does from what info Artist posted (btw thank you very much for that), I would still take it as it is one drug that works for me & is also one of the only anti-epileptic drugs that I can take. I do take a small dose of Lyrica also. THe two together work well for me. Better than just Neurontin alone in fact. We all, or some of us *LOL* remember what Topamax does to 'DebbyV' it was funny but not pretty. I have been on Neurontin every day since probably Oct 2003. I have little to no side effects anymore from it. I do have the sleepies from Lyrica. I had to take my dose of it wayyyyyy down due to sleeping round the clock otherwise. No amount of coffee would even begin to wake me up *LOL*

I know I wouldn't be able to work taking all the RSD drugs I do take. I would definitely fall asleep on the job. As I would have to have a sit down job since I can't stand very long on my feet as they are where I have RSD the worst.

I agree tho with whomever it was said they get use to the pain. Yes we do to a certain degree. That in a way itself is sad isn't it??
