I will tell you I use the generic for neurotin. A pain management doctor
chose to have me try it for some of my symptoms when I had my neck
problems, till I could have my complete procedure on the neck.

Its worked miracles on my fibromyalgia which was a added bonus.
I also take zanaflex which is lots of help too.

Donna,
I'm also taking the generic. Our insurance won't pay for name brands unless there are no generics for it and then we have a co pay of $22. Not bad co-pay but it sure does add up when I'm on 7 meds and 3 are non generic, plus my daughters (6 meds & 2 are non generics) and husbands meds (4 & 1 is non-generic). Oh...could be alot worse.

So far I've been on the neurotin for about a 1 1/2 weeks. I am seeing a little difference...not having to take as many of my roxicodone as I usually do during the day. Only thing is it makes me sleepy about 1 to 1.5 hours after taking it. I try to keep busy in order to combat the sleepiness. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thank you for the info. I'll keep ya'll informed.
