Hi bobby,

My family Dr. gave me the Neurontin for head and back pain after I was in a car accident and the drug just messed me up more because I have epilepsy and the drug triggered more dangerous seizures and it didn't help me at all with the back pain or head pain.
My advice to you is to speak to your pharmacist because they know a lot more about meds than Drs. do and they will be able to tell you all the side effects. I have 2 herniated discs along with degenerative disc disease and the Neurontin messed my back up a lot more but everyone is different.
Try taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. once a day for the pain it helps calm the nerves and cut back on the caffeine also. I found ultra sound physical therapy the best thing for my back and the pain was gone in no time. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
