I'm on neurontin, well the generic gabapentin anyway, for trigeminal neuralgia (horrific face pain). It has worked amazingly for me, but it took nearly a full month before it started really kicking in.

And it was a VERY rough drug for me for about 2 weeks. I was basically bed ridden for 2 weeks on it. They warned me some people take time to adjust to it. Once I did, the pain is gone and I have no more side effects.

Stick with it if you can. It isn't a one-week wonder.
