Does Neurontin work for Nerve pain?

[Shortyrock]

Has anybody tried Neurontin? Does it work for nerve pain? How long does it take to take effect? My doctor prescribed it for me today...I haven't picked it up yet...I'm hoping it will help...

You and I both take Gabapentin and Percocet.  I'm new to this....I feel stoned all the time too, I hate it!

I also take perocet daily with it , I have small tingling in my feet but nothing like before, beside being dizzy and stoned feeling , im doing well on the meds

Thanks that was the best literature yet. My pharmasist nor doctor explained how it works.

Started with 200 mg. After 3 weeks neuro doc told me to up it to 300 mg one time a day them 300 mg. twice a day. The Neurontin and Amitripaline (sp) 50. Mg did the trick. I am happy to be almost pain free. I've gained a few pound, but I don't care because it beats the pain. Take it. You will be glad you did.

My Gabapentin dose worked its way up to 3600mg/day. By itself, even 3600mg didn't do much to relieve the pain in my feet. I added 25mg amitriptilyne 1x/day to the 3600mg gabapentin and things got a little better. Next I upped the amitriptilyne to 50mg and the results have been tremendous.
