Not necessarily. One of the problems with Neurontin is that it can stop working, so you'll probably need higher and higher doses. It also interferes with magnesium absorption and vice versa, so make sure you get your magnesium at a different time of day then when you take your Neurontin. Most people do okay on this drug side effect wise, but it can make you tired or gain weight, so be careful of that, and it's very much like a benzo, so be careful if you decide to stop taking it -- it must be done slowly and carefully. You can research all this by yourself by googling various sources, such as the mayo clinic and kaiser websites.
