When I'm late taking my neurontin the sharp pain becomes unbearable. I think docs say you're supposed to take it every 8 hours, but that's not often enough for me. I take it every 5 or 6 hours and that heads off some of the pain. So neurontin--the good old stand-by works best for me and lots of people in forum say same thing. Some like lyrica better but, like you, this med makes me sick.

Other things that work for me: Fentanyl patch, MSIR (quick acting morphine), and, definitely Biofeedback and deepbreathing exercises.

I've also learned that each med hits a different type of pain.
