    Could of been a sugar pill, really had no change in my pain levels. I was taking 900 mg daily (3 times a day) and still hurt terribly, still had all the signs of neuropathy in all parts of my body. It may work for some, but it did not work for me. I do wish you the best in dealing with your continued pain. You are in my prayers, as I would not wish this on anyone.

Now I'm back at work, aside from feeling slightly tired all day, I am not in the p ... Show Full Comment

    I take neurontin for severe foot pain from Lupus. The pain is so overwhelming that I am unable to stand or do anything when I have an attack. Neurontin has decreased these attacks to about 1 a week instead of every morning.
