Hi, welcome, but of course, I'm sorry your here. I took neurontin for a brief time so I can't really offer you much guidance with doseage, etc., but I have been on a lot of different meds and I experienced breakthrough pain with all of them except trileptal and effexor xr. Sadly, with the last two, I had to go off of them due to side effects. This condition is progressive and really hard to control. It also can take a lot of experimenting to find meds that work for you. I have a mix of typical and atypical pain and its bilateral which makes life pretty rough. Did your neurologist screen you for any other causes and have you had an MRI?
