I was on
Neurontin & Tramadol from the
start.
Both were Rx'd by the head of neurology at Johns Hopkins in 1999.
I still take it - 300-400mg/day in 100mg doses, but I switched to Lyrica a few years ago when it became available in the US. I work
(use power tools at work), & drive a van in the metro area. No significant s/e and major relief from PN pain and symptoms.
I am a believer of the meds
'cocktail' and feel that the combination of the two are much more efficient than either one, alone.
