NeurontinI have been on neurontin for over 3 years and have no side effects. Switched to Lyrica when it came out, and I too became swollen and miserable. Went right off of that! I do not have a severe banding, so not sure if meds take care of it or I was just lucky. I wonder with the brain MRI if they suspected MS. It is my understanding that MS shows scars on brain and TM shows it on the spine. Do pain meds help the banding and where is yours? Mine, such as it is, is on my right side, waist area. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Janice
From: Robert Pall Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 7:42 AM To: tmic-l...@eskimo.net Subject: [TMIC] Neurontin I went last week to a new Neuro recommended to me by Dr. Kerr. Besides having me take new MRI's including the brain (never had this one before) he is taking me off Cymbalta and starting me up on Neurontin ( 100 mg per day). He saw no reason to be taking Cymbalta as I am already taking Lyrica and according to the new Dr. both Cymbalta and Lyrica do the same thing and taking both of them is not effective it is just overkill. I wonder if any of the other members who are taking both Lyrica and Cymbalta were ever told this.and what should I expect from the neurontin? I am hoping it will help the banding. What negative side effects have any of you suffered with the neurontin? Thx Rob in New Jersey
