i agree with eagle, my dr put me on that for nerve pain.. i took for over a month and it did nothing. some people love it some dont.. we have to remember we ask everyone about certin meds or treatment for more info on them. but only you know your own body, and how you react to certin meds.. ask away for questions but remember to LISTEN TO YOUR OWN BODY.. let me know, how its working for you.. diane

neurontin is an anti seizure drug or at least thats why they tried me on it.....i think it is also used to treat pain...i was allergic to it and almost died form that reaction so be careful.......i have heard it does work for those who can take it though..i too was addicted to oc's..i quit c/t and it was hell to say the least.....if i had to do it over again i would probably go with suboxone.......if the neurontin helps go for it..why suffer when ther si something that can help u know......love u and god bless u......
