Hi there...I found your site after looking for information regarding Occipital Neuralgia. Started out by hitting my head against a screen door. Dont ask Tingling sensations and headache resulted! Thought they would go away but guess not.after 3 weeks I broke down and went to doc. Put me on Neurontin 300 mg day now up to 600. He did not tell me i had O.N. just that i damaged the nerve on the left side of the head. I found on line my symptoms where just like O.N. The tingling sensation is lessing after being on neruontin for 2 weeks now but I guess I am wondering if anyone else is on nerountin for this and waht dosage they are taking. I am tolerating the side effects ok.
The headaches are worse at nite when I cant lie on my left side and sometimes my right side impacts my left. AUGH. So cant sleep to well. 4 hrs mostly. Also does it get treated with the neurontin after a while? seems that I still have the tingling sensations. Will the neurontin take the tingling away? It seems to be lessen but not gone. Any input would be helpful. Thanks |
