Hi Rob,
I was on neurontin when I got out of rehab in 1995. It helped relieve the
banding and nerve pain. However,it was still a "name" brand,not generic,so it
was too expensive for me to continue. When it became a generic,I tried it
again,but it just made my legs weak. I fell several times because my legs just
collapsed without warning. Plus,it didn't help the pain or banding anymore.
I wanted to try lyrica,but my doc says it won't help any more than the
neurontin did.
I hope the neurontin works for you.

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
