My neurologist prescribed Neorontin and Vicodin, Didn't like Neurontin for me, so don't use it. Vicodin (prescribed by neuro) is my current drug of choice. It never gives me any sense of recreational drug use (none) but because of opiate quality I get sleepy. I do get break-through pain and if I have to pee in the night, pain starts, but sitting in my wheelchair, slightly tilted back, the pain is quite managable and I sleep. Sometimes I get pain, sometimes not .

Like House, I tend to pop more than I should. I take one at 10, a second around 45 minutes later, read some, go to bed and sleep until 5:30 or 6. DH gets up early also. I get no side-effects from it. I do no other meds., this works for me. But we are all so different.

My PCP prescribed and insist I have on hand Baclofen which I have never used and know nothing about. Everyone is so different from each other,
