All you can do is try... I hope it helps you. I do read posts where it has been extremely helpful to some... The first time I took Neurontin was years ago when it first came on the market and it was Brand. On the other two trials, I was prescribed Gabapentin (the generic form of neurontin). It didn't seem to make a difference one way or the other in my experience.

I am not holding my breath on the Neurontin tryout, but ....we'll see....

ACTUALLY, I forgot to ask this! I'm actually on the GENERIC of Neurontin (Gabapentin).
Is it to anyones' knowledge or experience that 'you get what you pay for' in regard to this med?
I've heard some people in the past claim that it is worth forking out the extra $ to get name brands on certain meds......
Just wonderin.
