I have also been prescribed Neurontin for SFN pain. I have severe pain in my arm, neck and shoulder and fleeting pains elsewhere. The problem I have is that when I go up to 900 mg (300 mg/ 3xday), I develop pitted edema up to my knee. The dosage of 600 mg seems to be okay, although I don't think that I am getting the full pain relieving benefit.

I also have started on Savella and hoping that it will help with the pain, depression and fibromyalgia. I am still ramping up but so far all I am experiencing are GI side effects. That is pretty normal for me.

Good luck with the Neurontin. Many people do not have any problem with the larger dosages.
