I have been offered neurontin many times but I am very hesitant to try it because of the side effects.
Tramadol will take the edge off on a good day I have been given lortab 10 while I wait for surgery.....they make me so sick I was on neurotin for a year with the nerve issues I have in my foot. I didn't have any side effects except sleepiness at first. Sadly it didn't work. I am with you I hate drugs I just want to be fixed. Just waiting on a call from the surgery scheduler
