I am sorry to learn you have been diagnosed with RSD. Neurontin is an excellent drug for RSD, often one of multiple drugs that patients will use to manage their pain. I have been taking 3000 MG of Neurontin daily for 7 years as one of five medications in what my specialist refers to as my "cocktail". You mentioned that you are being treated by a GP and that you are his first RSD patient. You are fortunate that he has diagnosed your RSD. Because RSD is a complex disease and the pain is difficult to manage, you may want to also consult with a pain management specialist or neurologist with expertise in RSD who is able to offer the broad spectrum of treatment you may require, such as complex medications, pain blocks, spinal cord stimulators, and physical therapy. It is acknowledged that the window of treatment in the first six months of onset of RSD is critical. You have an opportunity now to obtain aggressive treatment that will impact your long-term outcome. The RSD Association and their web site provide a tremendous resource for newly diagnosed patients, in addition to the helpful people you will meet here. I cannot encourage you enough to find the top specialist in your area as soon as possible. There is great help available. We are all here to support you!
