For that reason it is worth trying it. If it works well, you could consider tapering off gabapentin to see which is doing more for you. People all vary in responses to drugs, so one has to try them to see.

Usually low doses of this drug work for PN. |
Thank you so much Mrs.D!
As you know, I am open to every medication available in the market, just to help me with the pain. I just have to get more information from experts like you - and for people who have actually used it.
Thanks for your time.
