Hi ~ These side effects almost always go away after you've been on the drug for a little while. But if you aren't getting much benefit from the drug, I'd ask to be switched to something else - perhaps Topamax. I haven't had ANY side effects from Topamax, although I'm sure some people have. I've taken Neurontin before, and it didn't help much at all, but TOPAMAX has taken away ALL the burning, tingling, zapping type pain from neuropathy that I had. I've been taking 400mg per day for quite some time now, and ALL the symptoms are gone.

That's pretty good results in my book. Best of lucik and I hope you get some results soon. Hugs, Lee
