Alternately try Lyrica (Pre-Gabapentin), mg wise it is about 10x lower. 600mg max dosage is equivilent to 3600mg of gabapentin. With either of these drugs once your body is tolerating it, the drowsy and drunken feeling goes away.
Buy stock in Lidocaine patches.. just remember to shave your leg before you put it on! have I said that before?

This is great information,as I was prescribed neurotin 400 mg x 3 a day then prescribed Lyrica 150 mg x2 a day by my new doctor about 3 weeks ago.So far the Lyrica is working for the shooting pains,but I still have thigh and hip pain,but not as severe as before use.I have the patches and will try them .
