I too have recently (4 days ago) started taking Neurontin 300mg 3x/day....in the hopes I can back down from my breakthru med (Lortab).....

I had a very bad experience on the Lyrica/Amitriptyline combo my neuro put me on 3 yrs ago and have finally drifted back down to this planet we share after blowing up like a Hot Air Balloon ! !

Since then, however, I've had an SCS implanted which takes ~ 70% of the level 8 pain away.....
So now I'm hoping this low dose Neurontin will be of benefit to the 30% of pain that continues to plague me in both legs.
I realize that Neurontin is a direct cousin of Lyrica, so I am being very leeery of this tryout........

So far, i feel nothing ..... ?
